JavaScript

// npm install apify-client
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('arcadium/youtube-transcripts').call({
  "urls": [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
  ],
  "languages": [],
  "captionType": "any",
  "maxVideosPerSource": 10,
  "subtitleFormat": "none"
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
