Scrape Creators API / Transcript

Retrieves the captions, subtitles, or transcript of a YouTube video or Short. Returns both a timestamped transcript array with start/end times and a plain-text version in transcriptonlytext. Supports specifying a language code. There is no two-minute limit for YouTube. Long videos, including podcasts, work when YouTube exposes public captions. If no matching caption track is available, the transcript fields return null.
