Video research tool
Paste any YouTube URL or video ID and Crawlora's free transcript extractor returns the spoken text with timestamps — ready to read, search, summarize, or feed to an LLM. No browser extension, no copy-pasting from the player, and the same endpoint is available for batch jobs when you need it.
Use this when a video is useful but you need searchable text, timestamps, or reusable research notes.

Drop in a full watch URL, a share link, or just the 11-character video ID. Crawlora resolves it to the right video automatically.
Get a capped, timestamped slice of the transcript instantly, with no login or API key.
Scan the timestamped lines, copy the JSON, or download CSV for notes, summaries, and research.
Call /youtube/transcript/{id} from your own code to pull full transcripts and available languages across many videos.
Feed clean transcript text to an LLM to produce summaries, chapter markers, and key-point lists without watching the full video.
Turn long talks, lectures, and interviews into searchable, citable text you can quote and reference.
Convert a video into blog drafts, social threads, and newsletters by starting from the exact words spoken.
Index support and training videos as text so answers are searchable alongside your docs.
Generate autocomplete keyword ideas from Google, Amazon, App Store, and Google Play with the same structured endpoints developers can call in production.
Compare search interest, trending searches, and rising queries with exportable JSON-backed results.
