🎯 How It Works

Simple 3-Step Process

  1. Provide YouTube URLs - Just paste the video links you want to extract
  2. Choose Your Options - Language, formatting, timestamps (all optional)
  3. Get Results - Structured data ready for your business needs

Input Example

{
"urls":[
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svpW3yC8cJs"
],
"language":"en",
"includeTimestamps":true,
"preserveFormatting":false,
"returnSnippets":true,
"returnTranscript":true,
"separator":"\n",
}

Output

{
"video_id":"dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"language":"English",
"language_code":"en",
"is_generated":false,
"snippets":[
{
"text":"We're no strangers to love",
"start":0.0,
"duration":2.5
},
{
"text":"You know the rules and so do I",
"start":2.5,
"duration":3.2
}
],
"transcript":"We're no strangers to love\nYou know the rules and so do I"
}

Note: When returnSnippets: false, snippets will be an empty array []. When returnTranscript: false, transcript will be an empty string "".
