GetYouTubeTranscript turns YouTube videos into text. Paste a link on the website and get the full transcript in seconds, free and with no sign-up.
For developers there is a REST API: GET /transcript returns the transcript plus title, channel, thumbnail and word count; GET /search searches YouTube with pagination; GET /playlist lists a playlist's videos; GET /resolve turns a channel handle into its channel ID. No Google Cloud project or YouTube Data API key needed.
It also runs as a remote MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can fetch transcripts and search YouTube directly. There is an n8n community node for automations and a Chrome extension that shows the transcript next to the video.
Pricing: free plan with 100 credits (no card), then $5/month for 1,000 credits. Failed requests are never charged.
