 This is an python API which allows you to get the transcripts/subtitles for a given YouTube video. It also works for automatically generated subtitles and it does not require a headless browser, like other selenium based solutions do!

 ### Proxy
 
-You can pass a proxy to use during the network requests
+You can specify a https/http proxy, which will be used during the requests to YouTube:
 
-Code:
 ```python
 from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi
 
-YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id, proxy={"http": "http://user:pass@domain:port", "https": "https://user:pass@domain:port"})
-
+YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id, proxies={"http": "http://user:pass@domain:port", "https": "https://user:pass@domain:port"})
 ```
 
-CLI:
+As the `proxies` dict is passed on to the `requests.get(...)` call, it follows the [format used by the requests library](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies)
+
+Using the CLI:
+
 ```
 youtube_transcript_api <first_video_id> <second_video_id> --http-proxy http://user:pass@domain:port --https-proxy https://user:pass@domain:port
 ```
 
-Find out more about using proxies and the type of proxies you can use here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies
 
 ## Warning
 
-This code uses an undocumented part of the YouTube API, which is called by the YouTube web-client. So there is no guarantee that it won't stop working tomorrow, if they change how things work. I will however do my best to make things working again as soon as possible if that happens. So if it stops working, let me know!
