What you need
An apifare key with credits. That's it: get a key (new accounts start with 500 free credits), connect your agent with its setup guide, and ask it to run YouTube Transcript Scraper.
Inputs it takes

Price
Reserve 5 credits per run, settled to the run's true cost (ceiling 20 credits; 1 credit = $0.01). Failed runs are refunded. The exact billed number always comes from /capabilities.
