What it does
Capslane gives developers a stable API for YouTube transcripts. It returns native captions when available and automatically generates a timestamped transcript when they are missing. Get plain text or structured segments, choose a language, manage API keys, inspect usage, and connect through JavaScript, Python, MCP, or n8n. Start with 50 free requests each month.
Extract YouTube captions or generate timestamped transcripts through one reliable API. Start with 50 free requests each month.
Retrieve captions from public YouTube videos or generate a transcript when captions are missing. One API with timestamped results, explicit jobs and workspace quotas. Gems, our video product at Webba, uses Capslane for transcript analysis and footage search. Its migration kept timestamped segments and added generated fallback for videos without captions. Read the Gems implementation or inspect the dated 200-video benchmark and its limits . Create an API key in the dashboard, send a video URL and receive the transcript as text or timestamped segments. curl 'https://capslane.com/v1/transcript?url=VIDEO_ID' \ -H 'x-api-key: vxl_live_...' 200 OK { "lang": "en", "content": [ { "text": "...",…from capslane.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
