What to compare
A transcript API choice should be grounded in the workflow you are building, not a generic checklist.
- Captions access for many public YouTube videos with accessible captions.
- Stable JSON output with transcript text and timestamped segments.
- Server-side API key authentication and safe error responses.
- Short-window rate limits, monthly quotas and visible response headers.
- Operational behavior for unavailable captions and upstream failures.
- Fit for AI agents, RAG, summarization and search workflows.
