How to Extract Playlist Transcripts

Method 1: Using Our API

The simplest method is to use our dedicated playlist endpoint:

Playlist API Example

const playlistUrl = 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxxxxxx';

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.transcriptx.com/v1/extract/playlist',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      playlistUrl,
      includeTimestamps: true,
      format: 'json'
    })
  }
);

const { transcripts, totalVideos } = await response.json();

// Process each transcript
transcripts.forEach((item, index) => {
  console.log(`Video ${index + 1}: ${item.title}`);
  console.log(item.transcript);
});
