[02How it works]

Three steps. No glue code, no exports, no waiting.

1step 01

Paste a link

Any YouTube URL or video ID. No format gymnastics.

2step 02

We fetch it

Cache-first. Repeat fetches return in milliseconds.

3step 03

Use it your way

Six formats — copy, download, or pull via API.

[03Two doors, one product]

Click and drag, or curl and pipe.

Both audiences share the same credit pool, the same cache, the same six formats. Pick whichever door fits the moment.

For everyone else

A dashboard, not a stack trace.

Paste, copy, download. Full history with re-download. No video IDs, no curl.

For builders

One endpoint. Bearer auth. Done.

GET /api/get-transcript — JSON in, six formats out. Same credit pool as the dashboard.

$ curl "https://gettranscript.io/api/get-transcript?videoId=ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

{
  "text": "Welcome back...",
  "segments": [...],
  "cached": false,
  "remaining_credits": 49

[06Pricing philosophy]

Credits don't expire.

Buy 1,000 credits today, use them tomorrow or in three years. No subscriptions, no monthly tax for the months you didn't need it.

One credit = one transcript, regardless of length, language, or format. Cached fetches still cost a credit but return instantly.
