Summary

Submit a public YouTube Shorts URL to Captapi to receive a summary, optionally selecting a caption language and enabling the 24-hour response cache.

Inputs

  • URL (required) — Public YouTube Shorts URL for a video up to 3 minutes. Long-form videos return HTTP 422; use the matching long-form endpoint. The URL must be for YouTube.
  • Language — Preferred caption language as an ISO code, such as "en". Leave empty for automatic detection.
  • Cache — Set true to use the 24-hour response cache; cache hits cost 0 credits and include cached and cachedAt in the response envelope. Defaults to false, which fetches fresh data.

Output shape

A single API response record containing the Shorts summary.

When served from cache, the response envelope also includes cached and cachedAt. API errors, including HTTP 422 for long-form videos, are returned as errors.
