Everything you need to know — upfront
One credit fetches the transcript for one video. Pricing is flat per transcript. Requests that fail or return no transcript are free.
Individual video URLs, channel handles (@name or /c/name), playlist URLs, and keyword search queries. All expand automatically into the full video set.
We attempt auto-generated captions as a fallback. If neither exists, the video is skipped and reported in the response with a reason.
Yes. Batch jobs run concurrently with a configurable limit. There is no hard cap on job size — large channel scrapes are a primary use case.
No. Credits are non-expiring. Buy once, use whenever.
