YouTube transcripts, search and channel data via one API
Submit your own product to reach creators and founders looking for the next tool to try.
GetYouTubeTranscript turns any YouTube video into clean, readable text. Paste a video link and get an accurate transcript in seconds, with search and AI summarization built into the web app.
Beyond the web interface, GetYouTubeTranscript is a REST API that developers can call directly: fetch a video transcript, search across YouTube, and list videos from any channel or playlist, all without needing a Google API key or dealing with YouTube's own quota limits. Every account starts with 100 free credits, no credit card required, and each successful API request costs a single credit.
The same functionality is also available as a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can pull YouTube transcripts and metadata directly into a conversation or coding session. For workflow automation, there is an official n8n community node that lets you wire transcript fetching, search, and channel or playlist lookups into no-code pipelines alongside hundreds of other n8n integrations.
For everyday browsing, the GetYouTubeTranscript Chrome extension adds a transcript panel next to any YouTube video, plus the ability to ask an AI questions about what is being said in the video without leaving the page.
Pricing is freemium: the free tier includes 100 credits with no card required, and paid plans start at 5 dollars per month for 1,000 credits, or 4.50 dollars per month billed annually. It is built for developers, researchers, content creators and anyone who needs YouTube video content in text form quickly and reliably.
