Clarification on Supadata API flow & YouTube ToS compliance

Feature Request

Hi, I’d like to ask for clarification about how the Supadata API processes YouTube videos.

From a high-level understanding, does the flow work like this?

  1. Fetch or download the audio from a YouTube video

  2. Transcribe the audio into text

  3. Return the transcript via the API

If so, I want to understand how this approach aligns with YouTube’s Terms of Service, especially regarding:

  • Downloading or extracting audio from YouTube videos

  • Processing the content for transcription purposes

    Hi Azhari, YouTube ToS is irrelevant because we use only publicly-accessible data (not requiring login) to resolve transcripts. Neither us (Supadata and our providers) nor you sign any agreements with YouTube.
