npm version

I wanted to extract a transcript from a youtube video but there was only a python script so I created this to do it in node. This package use unofficial YTB API so it can be broken over the time if no update appears.

Installation

$ npm i youtube-transcript

or

$ yarn add youtube-transcript

or

$ pnpm add youtube-transcript

Usage

import { fetchTranscript } from 'youtube-transcript';

fetchTranscript('videoId or URL').then(console.log);

Methods

  • fetchTranscript(videoId: string [,options: TranscriptConfig]): Promise<TranscriptResponse[]>;
