Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.influship.com/v1/raw/youtube/transcript/jLFG_FZKbksWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to extract the spoken transcript or captions from a specific YouTube video by its video ID, especially in agentic workflows where you need the text content of a video for summarization, analysis, or search. Prefer this over manual scraping when you need a live, up-to-date transcript without setting up your own scraping infrastructure.
Side effects
- Video ID not found or invalid — returns 404 or error response
- Video has no captions or transcripts available — returns empty or error
- YouTube rate limiting or blocking live scrape — returns 429 or scrape failure
- Private or age-restricted video — transcript not accessible
- Payment not included or invalid — returns 402 Payment Required
