Get Your API Key

Sign in at hasdata.com, go to your account settings, and copy your API key. All requests must include your key in the x-api-key header.

​
Request Cost and API Credits

Each request to the YouTube Transcript API consumes API Credits from your account balance.
  • Cost per request: 10 API Credits
  • Credits are deducted only for successful requests.
  • Your total available credits depend on your active plan.
You can use your credits across all HasData APIs. The same credit balance is shared platform-wide.
Unused credits do not roll over. Any remaining credits expire at the end of the current billing period.
To monitor your credit usage and remaining balance, sign in to your account dashboard at app.hasdata.com.
