YouTube video transcript (ScrapeCreators)

Liveby ScrapeCreators

Returns the captions of a YouTube video as plain text and as timed segments (start and end in milliseconds), from the video link or id.

Uses the creator's captions or YouTube's automatic ones; pick a language with a two-letter code. Fails clearly when the video has no captions.
