            }
        ]
    }
]

If you want you can download multiple transcripts from different videos

import Transcriptor from 'youtube-video-transcript';
await Transcriptor.getTranscript(['url video 1', 'url video 2'], ['en'])

You will receive something like that

    [
        {
            "language" : "en",
            "type" : "auto",
            "data" : [
                {
                    "start": 0,
                    "duration": 6.339,
                    "text": "Hello everyone thanks you so much for the last video"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "language" : "en",
            "type" : "auto",
            "data" : [
                {
                    "start": 0,
                    "duration": 1.219,
                    "text": "Welcome everybody !"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

If you want you can fetch all the transcripts for a video by doing this

import Transcriptor from 'youtube-video-transcript';
const listTranscripts = await Transcriptor.listTranscripts('video url')

Then use this function to get all the transcripts as an array

listTranscripts.list()

Also you can filter this list to have only the transcripts who are generated

listTranscripts.getAuto()

Or who are created manually

listTranscripts.getManual()

In different languages

listTranscripts.getMultipleLanguages(['en', 'fr', 'es'])
