I built a YouTube Transcript Extractor API for AI and automation workflows

I built a tool on Apify called YouTube Transcript Extractor that pulls transcripts directly from YouTube videos and returns them as structured JSON.

It’s designed for developers building AI tools, RAG pipelines, or content analysis systems.

What it does:

  • Extract transcripts from any YouTube video with captions
  • Return clean structured data
  • Language selection support
  • Easy API integration

Example uses:

  • AI summarization tools
  • LLM training datasets
  • Video content analysis
  • Converting videos into blog posts or datasets

If anyone is building automation or AI tools around YouTube content, I’d love feedback.
