TranscriptFetch is one API for getting text out of video and web content.
Send a URL from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Facebook and get back clean, timestamped text. Send any web page and get clean Markdown. One endpoint, one response shape, one API key.
Most short-form video has no caption track to download. TikTok's auto-captions are opt-in per upload, Instagram never publishes a downloadable track, and a large share of captions on both platforms are burned into the video frames where no parser can read them.
When there is no caption track, TranscriptFetch transcribes the audio instead. Same endpoint, same response, so your code never branches on which method produced the text.

One credit per successful response. Failed, blocked and empty results are never charged, which matters on short-form video where a meaningful share of any batch is music with no speech in it.
Citymapper TranscriptFetchCitymapper is ideal for urban dwellers, tourists in major cities, and anyone who frequently uses public transportation and desires efficient route planning. It is particularly useful for those who live in or travel to cities where the transportation network is complex or extensive.

TranscriptFetch's answer:
Most short-form video has no caption track to download. TikTokโs auto-captions are opt-in per upload, Instagram never publishes a downloadable track, and many captions on both are burned into the video frames where no parser can read them. TranscriptFetch transcribes the audio when no caption track exists, on the same endpoint, with the same response shape. Your code never branches on which method produced the text. It also covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook plus any web page as clean Markdown, so a pipeline spanning several sources is one integration rather than five.
TranscriptFetch's answer:
Three reasons. Coverage: one API key and one response shape across five video platforms and the open web, instead of stitching together a library per platform. Reliability: requests run through rotating infrastructure, so code that works locally keeps working from a server, which is where most open-source approaches break. Billing that matches reality: one credit per successful response, with failed, blocked and empty results never charged. That last point matters on short-form video, where a meaningful share of any batch is music with no speech in it. There is also an MCP server, so AI agents can fetch transcripts as a tool without a custom integration.
TranscriptFetch's answer:
Developers and technical teams building on video and web content. The common cases are RAG and retrieval pipelines that need video as text, AI agents that need to read a link mid-conversation, content teams repurposing short-form video at scale, and media monitoring and research tools. It is an API first, so the buyer is usually the person writing the integration rather than an end user. The free browser tools exist for one-off transcripts and for evaluating output quality before writing any code.
TranscriptFetch's answer:
It started with discovering there is no good way to get the text of a video. YouTubeโs official Data API will confirm a caption track exists and then refuse to hand it over, because captions.download requires the video ownerโs OAuth token. The popular open-source libraries work until you deploy them, at which point platforms start refusing datacenter IPs. And YouTube is the easy case: TikTok and Instagram publish no caption file at all. Every workaround solved one platform, worked locally, and broke in production. TranscriptFetch is the version that handles the failure cases as first-class behaviour rather than edge cases.
TranscriptFetch's answer:
Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind on the front end and API layer, Clerk for auth with SHA-256 hashed API keys, Neon Postgres with Drizzle ORM, Redis for caching, and Stripe for billing. The extraction layer is a Python and FastAPI service. Speech-to-text uses Whisper-class models. The MCP server is published in the official Model Context Protocol registry with a DNS-verified namespace.

You might like https://citymapper.com Lots of features but I'm not sure how many are available in Tokyo to be fair. In London I can ask it to take me home and get presented with a list of methods that optimise for cost, walking distance, speed, changes, accessibility, etc. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I live and swear by Citymapper[0] for all cities that it supports. No other app I've used has been as good for public transport as Citymapper has been. I really hope one day one of these city transport organisations either buy it out, push for it, or license their tech. [0] https://citymapper.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

We do! Citymapper often will tell you what door to get on for the best exit, depending on whether there's data available for that journey. Source: about 3 years ago
