n8n-nodes-transcriptyt

An n8n community node for TranscriptYT, a YouTube Transcript API. Get transcripts of YouTube videos, playlists and channels in 150+ languages (with translation and AI transcription for videos without captions), search YouTube, and summarize videos, all from your workflows. It also works as a tool for n8n AI Agents.

Unlike scraping YouTube from your n8n server, requests go through TranscriptYT's rotating proxies, so they keep working on cloud hosts where YouTube blocks datacenter IPs.
