YouTube Video Subtitles API: Overview<\/h1>\n
\n \"checked\"\n\n This API provides data on subtitles in the specified YouTube video <\/div>\n \n

YouTube Video Subtitles API provides data based on the YouTube Video Subtitles<\/a> search engine. We collect detailed information from the watching page about a subtitled text, its language, and duration in the video.<\/p>\n

The returned results are specific to the indicated video id parameter. You can always check the returned results accessing the check_url<\/code> in the Incognito mode to make sure the received data is entirely relevant. <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> YouTube SERP API provides results for desktop<\/code> only. You can indicate the following OS that you would like to receive SERP results for when setting a task: Windows, macOS.
\n 
\nSERP API makes use of rank_group<\/code> and rank_absolute<\/code> parameters that show search engine result\u2019s position among the group of elements or across all the elements in SERP respectively. Learn more about the difference between rank absolute and rank group in our help article.<\/a><\/p>\n

Youtube Video Subtitles functions<\/h3>\n

 
\nYoutube Video Subtitles Advanced endpoint<\/a> provides data on the specified YouTube video, subtitles, and language.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe cost of using YouTube Video Subtitles endpoints depends on the selected method and priority of task execution. Available methods and priorities are described below.<\/p>\n

DataForSEO has two main methods to deliver SERP results: Standard and Live.<\/p>\n

If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method<\/a> is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn\u2019t require making separate POST<\/a> and GET<\/a> requests to the corresponding endpoints.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t need to receive data in real-time, you can use the Standard method<\/a> of data retrieval. This method requires making separate POST and GET requests, but it\u2019s more affordable. Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can specify pingback_url<\/code> or postback_url<\/code> when setting a task, and we will notify you on completion of tasks or send the results to you respectively. Note that if you use the postback_url<\/code> field, the only function that will be applied for data retrieval is advanced<\/code>.<\/p>\n

If you need to set several tasks, you can receive the list of id<\/code> for all completed tasks using ‘Tasks Ready’ endpoint,<\/a> and then collect the results of each separate task using ‘Task GET’ endpoint.<\/a><\/p>\n

Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in this help center article.<\/a> <\/p>\n

You can send up to 2000 POST and GET API calls per minute in total, with each POST call containing no more than 100 tasks. Contact us if you would like to raise the limit. <\/p>\n

Priorities and cost<\/h3>\n

 
\nThe Live method delivers results in real-time, and accordingly, the cost of requests made using this method will be the highest.<\/p>\n

The Standard method has two different priorities that stand for the relative speed of task execution and have different prices:<\/p>\n

1. Normal priority;
\n2. High priority.<\/p>\n

The cost can be calculated on the Pricing<\/a> page. To learn more about the cost of all SERP API methods, priorities, and additional parameters, please refer to this help article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
