This is a python API which allows you to get the transcript/subtitles for a given YouTube video. It also works for automatically generated subtitles and it does not require an API key nor a headless browser, like other selenium based solutions do!

I realized this is an OpenSSL issue in Windows. This was causing requests (and pip) to fail.
