At times, we feel that it's good to read documentation rather than watch a video on YouTube to get some information. Therefore, this blog could be helpful for you in scraping subtitles from YouTube in the text file and generating subtitles from video Python.

Installation

Use the command given below and you will be able to install a Python API, helping you to extract subtitles data from YouTube videos.

pip install youtube_transcript_api
Procedure

Initially, import YouTubeTranscript on or after youtube_transcript.

from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi

Save the subtitles acquired by .get_transcript() function within the variable called srt like a listing of dictionaries.

srt = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript("kvTV2ZmVpmg&t=32s")

Create or overwrite a file called "subtitles.txt" having details inside a context manager as well as it repeats through every element of the list srt. Lastly, it writes every element of the srt on given new line within “subtitles.txt” text file.

with open("subtitles.txt", "w") as f:
    for i in srt:
        f.write("{}\n".format(i))
