Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.fastaf.co/x402/v1/youtube?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need machine-readable YouTube transcript text with timestamps for a known video ID, or when you need structured YouTube search results as JSON. It is ideal for agents that need to process video content textually, summarize videos, extract quotes, or discover videos on a topic without scraping YouTube directly. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when the target is specifically YouTube content.
Side effects
- Video ID not found or video unavailable returns an error
- Video has no captions or disabled transcripts returns empty or error
- Requested caption language not available — no translation guaranteed
- Invalid or missing required parameters (v for transcript, search_query for search)
- YouTube rate limiting or upstream unavailability causes failure (not billed)
- Using v parameter with resource=search or search_query with transcript causes validation error
