## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract transcript or caption text from a video without using a speech-to-audio transcription model — it scrapes existing captions/subtitles directly, making it faster and cheaper than audio transcription. Prefer this over speech-to-text APIs when the video already has captions (e.g. YouTube auto-captions or uploaded subtitles).

## Known failure modes

- Video URL is invalid or inaccessible — returns error
- Video has no captions or transcripts available — returns empty or error
- Private or age-restricted video — access denied error
- Unsupported video platform — only certain platforms may be supported
- Rate limiting or platform-side blocking — scraper may be blocked temporarily
