A transcript retrieval service for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram that returns timestamped, structured transcripts from whole channels, playlists, and searches
What it is

TranscriptFetch: the homepage
TranscriptFetch provides an API for retrieving transcripts from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos. It returns timestamped, structured JSON transcripts from individual videos, channels, playlists, and searches. When videos lack captions, the service automatically transcribes the audio. The API supports integration with AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT via MCP, as well as automation platforms like n8n, Make, and Zapier.
The service handles multiple use cases including RAG pipelines, AI agents, market research, and content monitoring. It offers a free tier with 50 monthly credits and paid plans starting at $5/month, with billing based on successful transcript fetches rather than failed requests.

Quick answers
What counts as one credit?
One credit is one successful caption response or one listing call. AI Fallback Transcription is billed by audio duration and only on delivery. Requests that fail or return nothing are always free. Every account gets 50 free credits each month, no card required.
Which platforms are supported?
Video transcripts support YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and direct media files. Search and channel or profile listings support YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram; playlists support YouTube and TikTok.
What happens if a video has no captions?
The audio is transcribed with AI automatically on the same endpoint with the same response shape. If a video truly has no retrievable speech, it is reported with a reason code and you are not charged.
Can I use it with Claude, ChatGPT, or n8n?
Yes. Connect the MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client with one OAuth sign-in, install the n8n community node, or use the Python and Node SDKs in your own code.
Can I run large batch jobs?
Yes. The batch endpoint fetches many transcripts in one call, and channel or playlist listings are a primary use case. Requests run concurrently with per-plan rate limits.
