"transcription": "Zuckerberg, he had this old lady next to him. It's like, you're the man. You know everything. What do you need her for? He's like, I need a coach. Now, it's a business coach. And it's kind of insane, you have Peter Teal. He had a lot of elated buzzers around him. Every business out there, if you look at every professional athlete out there, they all have coaches. It's really hard to see yourself without a mirror. Bill Campbell, he coached Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Eric Schmidt. It can work for other people. If you learn from them and it works for you, great. Do that."

The YouTube Transcription API allows you to transcribe YouTube videos up to 5 minutes in length using advanced speech-to-text technology. It is useful for developers who need to integrate subtitles, enhance accessibility, or conduct content analysis within their applications.
The API offers limited free access which allows developers to test and integrate the service within their applications. For extended use and higher request volumes, please refer to our pricing section on RapidAPI.
The API uses advanced algorithms to provide high accuracy in transcriptions. However, the clarity of the audio in the YouTube video and the spoken language's compatibility with our system can affect the transcription's accuracy. Always review transcriptions for critical applications.
Answer: Common errors include 'No video URL provided', 'Invalid URL', 'Video duration exceeds the allowed limit', and 'URL not recognized'. Ensure that the video URL is correct, the video is under 5 minutes, and you adhere to the formatting requirements specified in the API documentation
Currently, our API supports videos up to 5 minutes long. If you need to transcribe longer videos, consider segmenting the video into smaller parts or contact us for potential solutions that might accommodate your needs.
Simply sign up or log in to RapidAPI, subscribe to our API, and use the provided endpoint with your API key. The API requires a POST request with a YouTube video URL, and you will receive the transcription in response. Detailed documentation is available on our API page to guide you through the process.
