API guide
YouTube data for your agent
Through one apifare key, your agent can run 26 ready-to-run YouTube tools today, and 138 more with your own key: transcripts, videos, and channels.
Ask your agent
Get the transcript of this YouTube video: <url>Find recent YouTube videos about <topic> and list their titles and channels
Your agent finds the right tool itself with apifare's search, then calls it through your key, under your caps and kill switch.
On the key today
- YouTube Transcript Ninja
- YouTube Transcript & Subtitles Scraper API
- Youtube Transcript Scraper
- YouTube Video Downloader
- Fast YouTube Scraper API - Extract Videos, Channels, Playlists
138 more YouTube tools run on an Apify key you vault yourself (BYOK): your agent asks for a one-time vault link, you paste the key once, and no endpoint ever shows it back. Browse everything in the tool catalog; each tool's page shows how it is priced.
Set it up
Connect your agent (Claude Code · Cursor · Codex · all supported clients), then ask.
