YouTube is constantly changing their algorithm. You should use a third-party service that specialises in getting YouTube transcripts.

Here is a simple example using the Dumpling AI “Get YouTube Transcript” module:

Thank you so much for your answer. I really liked your solution earlier. I had used it for some time. But it suddenly stopped last week I think. Such a pity. As I am trying to create MVP’s, not too excited about paying for yet another tool But allright.
Will give dumpling a whirl :slight_smile:

I loved your solution that you shared in Jack Automation community.
