01
YouTube Transcript API cURL
The fastest way to test TubeScript's API is cURL: POST a JSON body with a YouTube URL to https://tubescript.cc/v1/transcript and pass your Team API key as a bearer token.
cURL
curl -X POST https://tubescript.cc/v1/transcript \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ","language":"en","stream":false}'One request per video
The current public API processes one YouTube video per request. Batch and webhook surfaces should not be assumed until they ship.
Use cache for repeats
If a transcript already exists, TubeScript can return cached transcript data quickly without running AI fallback again.
Build on the transcript engine
Team includes API keys, JSON transcript access, cache-backed reads, and 100 API requests per day.
