Some time the subtitles come empty []

[TheChiragKhaitan]

The output comes like this sometime and when it comes like this even once then that behavior continues for a long time with other videos as well

I am not getting any subtitle for the past 1 hour via the api. Only getting an [] for the subtitles with a 200 response

Is there any method to prevent this??
Are there any other npm packages i could use as fallback??

@TheChiragKhaitan on how many ids have you confirmed this?

[TheChiragKhaitan]

i have checked using 7 emails of mine + vpn + incognito

I am getting the title and description for the videoID that I entered but not the subtitles. I have been checking for the past 1 hour or so. Even on your vercel deployment (https://youtube-caption-extractor.vercel.app/) as well I am not getting the subtitles (not just for my deployment)

@devhims

I meant video ids. Some videos, such as those meant for kids, don't support subtitles in this API.

[TheChiragKhaitan]

i checked more than 50 videos (some were working yesterday but not today -- just to check if the others were bugged) but none of them returned

@devhims

[TheChiragKhaitan]

@devhims Can you please tell me on what is the problem??? My side or the package needs updation??

I am still getting this type of response.

[devhims]

@TheChiragKhaitan can you try it in https://www.weblinq.dev/ and confirm the issue? I just checked, and it's working. Btw weblinq is my own platform.

[TheChiragKhaitan]

@devhims it is working on weblinq but not on the vercel deployment for this package (ogiVQSHRLeg --> trying with this videoID). Why is this happening??

[TheChiragKhaitan]

it is also not working on my vercel deployment why is this issue happening do you have any idea??? @devhims

[devhims]

@TheChiragKhaitan most likely due to some changes in the api structure. I plan to eventually sunset the Vercel deployment, as it's prone to abuse and lacks safeguards.

[devhims]

If you need the api, use weblinq

[TheChiragKhaitan]

is it free? I want no limit free.

[devhims]

you can check the github repo and host it yourself to suit your needs: https://github.com/devhims/weblinq

thanks man. By the way

Which of these is correct is it 1000/month or 1000 lifetime credits???

These are the API credits to use the youtube caption extraction feature right?
