# A free app for downloading YouTube Shorts transcripts

Built with Python and Streamlit.  Easily self-host.

Download transcripts for Youtube Shorts by dragging and dropping a text file containing valid Youtube Shorts urls into a simple streamlit app (shown below).



This repo also illustrates how to pull transcripts step-by-step in the `transcript_downloader_walkthrough.ipynb` notebook.

## Install instructions

To get setup to run the notebook and strealit demo first install the requirements for this project by pasting the below in your terminal.

```python

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

## Instructions for using the streamlit app

Use in browser directly by clicking here [![HuggingFace Space](https://img.shields.io/badge/🤗-HuggingFace%20Space-cyan.svg)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/neonwatty/youtube_shorts_transcript_downloader).

Start the streamlit app up locally

```python

python -m streamlit run youtube_shorts_transcript_downloader/app.py

```

In either case you can now drag and drop `.txt` files containing Youtube Shorts urls - one url per line - into the app for batch transcript fetching.
