Benefits
Build faster. Scale easier.
Build faster.
Scale easier.
Simple Authentication
Just add your API key to the header. No complex OAuth flows, headless browsers, or session management required.
AI-Ready Formats
Get transcripts exactly how your stack needs them: structured JSON for agents, plain text for LLMs, or SRT/VTT for video players.
Zero Proxy Management
We handle the rotating proxies, rate limits, and aggressive anti-bot measures of platforms like X and TikTok so you don't have to.
Lightning Fast
Sub-second response times for cached videos and blazing-fast extraction for new URLs. Built to handle heavy production workloads.
Developer-First Docs
Clear copy-paste examples, Postman collections, and a comprehensive API reference. Get your first successful request in under 5 minutes.
High-Volume Batching
Need to process an entire TikTok profile or hundreds of X video links? Submit batch jobs asynchronously and let our infrastructure do the heavy lifting.

Testimonials
Loved by developers. Built for scale.
Loved by developers.
Built for scale.
ScriptBase cut our development time in half. Instead of building and maintaining separate scrapers for TikTok, YouTube, and X, we just call one endpoint. The transcript quality is perfect.
Sarah Chen
Senior Engineer
Saved us weeks of scraper development.
The markdown conversion feature is brilliant. We use it to archive and analyze web content at scale. Simple API, powerful results.
Finally, an API that unifies social video. Extracting text from Instagram Reels and X used to require a nightmare of rotating proxies and headless browsers. ScriptBase handles all that infrastructure for us.
Best transcript API I've used. Accurate timestamps, multi-language support, and it never fails. We've processed over 50K videos with 99.9% success rate.
Alex Kumar
Founder
ScriptBase gives us clean, plain-text transcripts in milliseconds. It’s the backbone of our data pipeline.
I was skeptical about another scraping tool, but ScriptBase is different. Sub-second response times across four different platforms, and the unified JSON response makes our LLM workflows completely predictable. Game changer.
Emma Larsson
Full-stack Developer
Zero setup, instant results. The ability to pass a YouTube URL or a TikTok link to the exact same endpoint and get perfectly standardized timestamps back is incredible for our content repurposing app.
Finally, a reliable way to extract YouTube data
