## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the live, real-time transcript of a YouTube video by its video ID, especially for influencer content auditing, research, or NLP analysis. Prefer this over static transcript APIs when freshness matters or when the video may not be indexed by third-party transcript services yet.

## Known failure modes

- Video ID does not exist or has been deleted — returns an error or empty result
- Video has no captions or transcripts available — returns empty or error response
- YouTube rate limiting or anti-scraping measures block the request — returns a failure response
- Private or age-restricted videos may not be accessible — returns an access error
- Transient scraping failure due to YouTube page changes — returns an error
