Can I get transcripts for a list of YouTube videos in one go?

Yes. Paste two or more video links into the box above (one per line, or all on one line separated by spaces) and it switches to list mode and shows how many videos it found. Press Get transcripts and they are fetched in parallel. Duplicate links are dropped, so pasting the same video twice costs one credit, not two.

When a list beats a playlist

Hand-picked sets rarely live in one place: three talks from one channel, a competitor's launch video, a lecture from a course. Building a playlist first means an account, a YouTube playlist that must be public or unlisted, and another step. A pasted list skips all of it, and the links can come from a spreadsheet column, a research doc or a chat message.

What you get back

One file per video in a ZIP, or one combined document with every transcript in the order you pasted, each with its title, channel, date and link in a header so an AI model can say which video a line came from. Formats: TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON, or AI-ready Markdown.

Hundreds of links, or a list that keeps growing

A single paste takes up to 1,000 links. If you add links to the same list next week and run it again, the videos already in your library come back instantly and free; only the new ones cost a credit. For a list that lives in code or a sheet, the REST API and the MCP server take the same batch.

Questions

How many links can I paste at once?

Up to 1,000 video links in one job. Longer lists can be split into several runs; anything already fetched is not charged again.

Do the links all need to be from the same channel?

No. Any mix of public or unlisted videos from any channels works.

What happens to a link with no captions?

It is listed in the results as skipped and not charged. The rest of the list carries on.

Can I mix a playlist link into the list?

Paste playlist and channel links on their own: a single playlist or channel URL pulls that whole source. A list is treated as individual videos.
