YouTube Transcript API
JSON →This is a Python API that allows you to retrieve transcripts and subtitles for a given YouTube video. It supports both manually created and automatically generated subtitles, as well as subtitle translation. Unlike older solutions, it does not require a headless browser. The library is actively maintained, currently at version 1.2.4, and receives regular updates to address YouTube's API changes.
