01

YouTube Transcript API Cache

TubeScript exposes a cache-only read endpoint at https://tubescript.cc/v1/transcript/cache. It returns an existing transcript when available and does not start a new transcription job.

Cache-only GET
curl "https://tubescript.cc/v1/transcript/cache?videoId=dQw4w9WgXcQ&language=en"

No new transcription

Cache-only reads are useful when your app wants a fast lookup and would rather handle a miss itself.

Best for public transcript URLs

Use the permalink field from normal transcript responses to connect cached API data with a shareable public source page.

Build on the transcript engine

Team includes API keys, JSON transcript access, cache-backed reads, and 100 API requests per day.
