Input

Field	Type	Description
youtubeUrl*	array	📹 List of YouTube video URLs to process. Supports all YouTube URL formats: youtube.com/watch, youtu.be, /shorts, /live default [{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOO31qFmi9A"}]
transcriptOnly	boolean	When enabled, only fetch transcript text (no metadata like title, description, views, etc.). This is faster and uses less resources. default false
cleaningLevel	string (none \| mild \| aggressive)	How much to tidy the transcript text. 'None' keeps it exactly as YouTube provides it, 'Mild' removes filler sounds like uh/um, 'Aggressive' also removes conversational fluff (you know, basically, kind of). default "mild"
includeTimestamps	boolean	Include the per-segment timestamp array. Turn off for a smaller result when you only need the full transcript text — the word count and duration are still returned. default true
useCache	boolean	Remember which videos this run already delivered, so a restarted or resurrected run resumes instead of re-processing (and re-charging) them. default true
maxConcurrency	integer	How many videos to process in parallel. Leave empty for the default (10). Lower it if you hit rate limits.
batchPushSize	integer	How many videos are processed before results are delivered. Smaller batches surface results sooner; larger batches are slightly faster. default 10
extractcomments	boolean	Enable comment extraction for videos default false
sortBy	string (top \| newest)	⭐ Choose how to sort the comments: 'Top' for most relevant/liked, 'Newest' for most recent first default "top"
maxComments	integer	🧮 Maximum number of top-level comments to extract per video. Higher numbers = longer runtime. (Range: 10-100,000) default 10
maxRepliesPerComment	integer	📽 Number of replies to fetch for each comment. Set to 0️⃣ to skip replies (10x faster!), or any number > 0 to enable (e.g., 10 = fetch up to 10 replies per comment) default 0
