## Quick example

Get a YouTube video transcript in one request:

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
  "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/youtube/transcript?videoId=dQw4w9WgXcQ&text=true"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "content": "We're no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I...",
  "lang": "en",
  "availableLangs": ["en", "es", "fr", "de", "ja", "ko"]
}
```

All async operations (batch jobs, crawls, AI extraction) return a `jobId` that you poll for results — no webhooks or callbacks required.
