The YouTube group powers the MMK YouTube Transcript Make.com app. Identify a video by either its full URL (video_url) or its 11-character ID (video_id), and get the transcript back as XML, JSON, VTT, or SRT. All routes are POST under /api/v1 and authenticate with the X-API-KEY header (see Authentication).

Endpoints

EndpointTierWhat it does
POST /youtube/transcript/v2BasicGet a video’s transcript in xml / json / vtt / srt
POST /youtube/metadataProGet title, author, thumbnails, channel info, and view/like counts
youtube/metadata requires a Pro license — a Basic key gets 403 Pro account required. The same applies to the with_metadata option on the transcript endpoint: the transcript itself returns on Basic, but the metadata block is filled only for Pro keys (Basic sees an upgrade placeholder). See Authentication.

Notes

  • Pick one identifier. Send either video_url or video_id — not both required.
  • Format defaults to xml. Choose json for structured segments with start/duration, or srt / vtt when you need subtitle files.
  • Rate limited. Both endpoints are rate limited; space out bulk calls.
  • retry_info in every response reports fetch attempts — useful when a transcript is temporarily unavailable and you want to retry.
Use the interactive playground on each endpoint page to try a request with your own deployment host and API key.
