That is due to Youtube banning ISP ips. I have made a working solution using oauth2 that doesn't uses proxies and avoids Youtube ban. You can use it for free on Apify: https://apify.com/invideoiq/video-transcript-scraper. You only pay for Apify usage, however Apify gives you free credit of 5$ which will give you around 5000 transcripts

@hatemmezlini what do you mean using oauth2 ? are you talking about the official captions api from google ? did it work for all publically available yt videos with your own credentials ?

hatemmezlini commented 1 week ago

@OdapX No, it's not the offical API. Initially it worked but I got banned using oauth2 using yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Extractors#logging-in-with-oauth so I switched to another method

@hatemmezlini may I ask, what method you're referring to?
