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 ### 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 ```python
from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi 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 youtube_transcript_api <first_video_id> <second_video_id> --http-proxy http://user:pass@domain:port --https-proxy https://user:pass@domain:port
``` ```

## Warning ## 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!
