Visit transcriptapi.io →DocsPricing
TranscriptAPI is a hosted REST API that returns timestamped transcripts for public YouTube videos from existing caption tracks, plus YouTube search, channel video listings, in-channel search, playlist listings, and channel upload webhooks. It also offers an MCP server (npm package transcriptapi-mcp and a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint) for use with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf. Authentication is via bearer token; one credit per successful uncached call, with cached repeats free and failed calls refunded. It does not run its own speech recognition and supports public videos only.
