GetYouTubeTranscript

GetYouTubeTranscript turns any YouTube video into clean, readable text in seconds. Paste a video link on the site to get an instant transcript, or call the REST API directly to fetch transcripts, search YouTube, and list channel and playlist videos without needing a Google API key. The API is built for developers who want reliable YouTube data without wrestling with quota limits, OAuth flows, or scraping. Beyond the core transcript endpoint, GetYouTubeTranscript exposes search across YouTube, channel video listings, and playlist contents, all through simple authenticated REST calls with predictable JSON responses. It also works as a remote MCP server, so tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can pull YouTube transcripts and metadata directly inside a conversation or coding session. For teams already automating workflows, there is an official n8n community node that drops straight into existing pipelines. For everyday users, a Chrome extension lets you highlight any point in a video and ask an AI question about what is being said, using the transcript as grounding context. Pricing is freemium: everyone gets 100 free credits with no card required, and paid plans start at five dollars a month for a thousand credits, with a small discount on the annual plan. One credit equals one successful request, so cost stays predictable at any scale. The project is aimed at researchers, content creators repurposing video into text, and developers building AI features on top of YouTube data.
