Using the API
What works on YouTube only
Channel, playlist and search listing, and why they do not exist for other platforms.
Three endpoints are YouTube-only:
POST /api/v1/transcripts/channel- a channel's videos, newest firstPOST /api/v1/transcripts/playlist- a playlist's videosPOST /api/v1/transcripts/search- find videos by keyword
They return video metadata lists, not transcripts. Fetch the transcripts you want afterwards, individually or in a batch.
Why not TikTok or Instagram
Neither exposes a way to enumerate a profile or hashtag that we can offer reliably, so we do not pretend to. For those platforms, single-video transcription is the whole surface: bring the URLs and we return the text.
Pagination
List endpoints return up to limit videos per page (1-50, default 5) plus a next_cursor. Echo that cursor back as cursor for the next page.
Channel, playlist and search listing are YouTube features rather than ours; the platforms we cover for transcripts are listed on the TranscriptFetch homepage.
