Pulls YouTube subtitles through TranscriptAPI so you can translate videos, follow along with foreign language content, or extract spoken text for accessibility. Free tier gives you 100 credits with no card required. The JSON format returns timestamped segments if you need sync, while text format strips timing for cleaner output. It's straightforward: pass a video URL or ID, set your format preference, and you get back the transcript. One gotcha: you must send a real User-Agent header or Cloudflare blocks the request with a 403. Useful if you're building language learning tools or just want to read a video instead of watching it.
