01

Video transcripts and captions

Retrieve an available transcript for a public video to supply your own summary, search or analysis workflow. A dedicated transcript endpoint handles this separately from video discovery.

02

Video search and details

Discover videos by keyword, then retrieve individual video records. Apify video search returns titles, IDs, URLs, thumbnails, view counts and dates.

03

Comments and replies

Read the discussion under a video to study audience questions and feedback. The Apify comments endpoint returns comment text, author, votes, reply count and publication time.

04

Channel profiles and content

Look up public channel records and explore supported channel-content endpoints. Use them to organize creator research around the channel as well as individual videos.

YouTube Data API questions

Is this the official YouTube Data API?

Glasser provides access to the listed third-party data endpoints. They serve public data-reading tasks with provider-specific inputs and responses; they do not inherit Google developer quotas or account permissions.

Can I get a transcript for every YouTube video?

Transcript availability depends on the video and endpoint. Check supported languages, caption sources and timestamp handling in the endpoint details. A video-search result does not include a transcript automatically.

Are transcripts turned into summaries automatically?

The transcript endpoints supply source text when available. Your agent or application can use that text to create a summary; the Apify video-search endpoint explicitly excludes subtitles and AI summaries.

Can I upload videos or access private channel analytics?

This page covers public data retrieval. Uploading, live streaming, channel management and private revenue analytics are outside its scope.
