V2 è il modello di trascrizione semplificato e di proprietà dell'utente. Punta su cache hit rapidi, risposte coerenti e nessuna traduzione a sorpresa, a meno che tu non richieda una lingua.
https://www.youtubetranscript.dev/api/v2Incolla un link o un ID YouTube e ricevi la trascrizione, di solito in pochi secondi.
/transcribeInvia fino a 3.000 video in una richiesta e ricevi una notifica al termine.
/batchTrasforma una playlist o un canale nel suo elenco di video, pronto da trascrivere.
/playlists/resolveCarica un file e trascrivilo con il riconoscimento vocale.
/uploadsElenca, ottieni, traduci o elimina le tue trascrizioni.
/transcriptsControlla i job di riconoscimento vocale o ricevi un webhook al termine.
/jobs/{job_id}Novità: un solo parametro mode per ogni fonte di trascrizione
Scegli auto, captions_only, human_captions_only, speech_to_text_only invece di combinare source e allow_asr. Le richieste esistenti continuano a funzionare esattamente come prima. Scopri come funziona
Scarica lo YAML per importarlo in Postman o Insomnia, generare client o incollarlo in ChatGPT / Claude.
La via più rapida per un video alla volta. Le trascrizioni basate sui sottotitoli arrivano in pochi secondi; l'ASR gira in modo asincrono e si interroga tramite /api/v2/jobs/{job_id}.
Transcribe a single YouTube video. Returns immediately for caption-based videos. With mode=auto it falls back to ASR (async) when captions are unavailable: you get status processing and a job_id to poll at /api/v2/jobs/{job_id}, or the result is POSTed to webhook_url if you set one. Responses include the mode the request ran with.
/api/v2/transcribevideostringobbligatorioYouTube URL or 11-character video ID. Required unless upload_id is set.
upload_idstringTranscribe an uploaded media file instead of a YouTube video (see /uploads). Forces the ASR path (mode must be omitted or speech_to_text_only); webhook_url required. The upload id is returned as video_id in results.
modeauto | captions_only | human_captions_only | speech_to_text_onlyWhere the transcript comes from (recommended). auto: captions first, speech-to-text (ASR) only if the video has none. captions_only: any captions, never ASR. human_captions_only: human-made captions only. speech_to_text_only: always transcribe the audio. auto and speech_to_text_only can charge ASR credits. Replaces source + allow_asr; cannot be combined with them. Note: mode=auto is not the same as legacy source=auto (captions only, which is mode=captions_only). When omitted, your account default from the API Dashboard applies: auto for accounts created from October 2026, captions_only for older accounts unless changed. ASR modes work without webhook_url: poll the returned job_id.
languageISO 639-1Preferred transcript language (e.g. en). If unavailable, captions in another language may be returned: transcript.language reports the actual language.
sourceauto | manual | asrLegacy, still supported: use mode instead. Default: auto. asr transcribes the audio (async, requires webhook_url).
allow_asrbooleanLegacy, still supported: use mode=auto instead. Falls back to ASR if captions fail.
formatobject{ timestamp, paragraphs, words }: include extra structure in the transcript.
webhook_urluriWhen set, ASR results are POSTed to your URL. Optional with mode (poll the job_id instead); required for legacy source=asr. Ignored by captions_only and human_captions_only, which never use ASR.
asr_optionsobjectRich ASR config: language (+ codeSwitching, medicalMode, keyTerms), translateTo, speaker diarization (speakerLabels, speakerId + type/known values, multichannel, exact or min/max expected speakers), speech understanding (topics, summary, moderation, PII, profanity, sentiment), and formatting (punctuation, text formatting, filler words, custom date/phone/email patterns). Billable add-ons increase cost: preview with /transcribe/estimate. See the AsrOptions schema in the OpenAPI spec.

Completed ASR jobs include asr_intelligence (summary, topics, sentiment, etc.) when those options were enabled.

}Trascrivi i tuoi file audio o video tramite la pipeline ASR. Tre passaggi: registra l'upload, invia i byte con PUT all'URL firmato, finalizza: poi chiama /transcribe con upload_id. I risultati arrivano al tuo webhook e si interrogano come qualsiasi job ASR.
Register an audio/video file upload and get a signed URL. PUT the raw file bytes to signed_url (with the file's Content-Type), finalize via /uploads/{upload_id}/complete, then transcribe with upload_id on /transcribe. Max 2GB and 8 hours per file.

}AI key moments, themes & keywords for a stored transcript: a short TL;DR, the key moments worth finding again (each a short label plus the exact quote, with where it starts and ends), its main themes, and each keyword with the timestamps where it's said. 1 credit per transcript, charged once: calling it again (or GET) is free. Waits up to ~25s; a 202 "processing" means it's paid for and still running, so poll GET. If detection fails the credit is refunded. Transcripts too short to analyse return empty themes for 0 credits. 402 without enough credits.
