youtube-transcript-api and python-youtube-transcription
The first tool is a lightweight library for retrieving existing YouTube transcripts/subtitles, while the second is a full application framework that uses transcription methods (potentially including the first tool) as one component within a broader Flask-based system, making them complements rather than competitors.
About youtube-transcript-api
jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api
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!
This tool helps you quickly get the text transcript or subtitles from any YouTube video. You simply provide the video ID, and it returns the spoken text along with timestamps. This is useful for researchers, content creators, or anyone needing to analyze or repurpose video content.
