# YouTube Video Transcript (Provenance)

> Fetch a YouTube transcript with timed segments and its provenance: whether the words are creator-written captions or machine speech recognition.

**Price:** billed per result - \$2.94 per 1,000 requests base + \$0.00 per 1,000 results, capped at \$2.94 per 1,000 requests.

**Routing:** one lane serves this API today, so a failed attempt has nowhere to fail over to. Payment outcome follows the selected rail's settlement policy.

  description: >-
    Any API, one wallet, USD, no subscriptions. Each API is a single discovered
    operation: send the normalized input, get a normalized result. Prices and
    payment outcomes are reported in USD; each operation documents the
    settlement policy for its enabled payment rails.
  title: AnyAPI
  version: 1.0.0
  x-guidance: >-
    Use each operation's published method and path with its normalized JSON
    input (see the operation requestBody). Before setting a client or tool
    timeout, GET /v1/apis/{sku} and inspect its trailing-30-day latency
    p50/p95/p99 and sample; p99 is an observation, not a maximum. To pay: send
    your AnyAPI key (Authorization: Bearer, billed from your USD wallet). For
    operations that advertise an inline rail, pay per call inline with x402 -
    call with no key, receive HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header, then
    retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (base, no account needed); or pay
    per call inline with MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) - call with no key,
    receive HTTP 402 with a WWW-Authenticate: Payment challenge, then retry with
    the Authorization: Payment header (tempo, no account needed). x402 settles
    after execution; execution failure is reported as released; mpp settles
    before execution; execution failure is reported as charged_undelivered.

            descend into nested objects) to keep on each result item. Keys are
            matched relative to each result item after the `data`/`items`
            envelope is unwrapped, not against the top-level response envelope,
            so use `jq` to reshape the whole envelope. Shrinks the response

            note reports how many were withheld so you can page via the API's
            own `limit`. Does not change cost.

            Optional. Return only a structural outline (top-level keys, item
            counts, and per-field byte sizes) instead of the full data. Does not
            change cost.
          in: query

            Optional. A jq expression applied to the result envelope; its output
            replaces `output` (multiple outputs collect into an array). Reshape
            freely, e.g. `jq=.data | {title, description, md:
            .markdown[:3500]}`. Runs sandboxed with a 250ms / 2MB budget; on
            failure the full result is returned with a `jqError`. Does not

            hours. When the gateway honors the key, this synchronous in-process
            execution can continue after the caller disconnects, bounded by its
            execution deadline. A completed replayable result charges normally
            exactly once and can be replayed without another provider run or
            charge. A pending duplicate returns 409 idempotency_in_progress;
            reuse with different request semantics returns 409
