Closed Captions in YouTube as JSON -


is there way closed captions in youtube clip json ? read passing "alt=json" should work, doesn't seem to. idea ? cc work when done via translation ? example curl "http://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?v=v6tsrg_eqmw&lang=en" doesn't return (though clip have cc)

there no supported api retrieving closed caption tracks arbitrary videos. (you might able reverse-engineer methods of getting data, it's not supported , can't encourage doing that.)

the officially supported methods working captions v2 of youtube data api , documented @ https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_captions

only authenticated request owner of given video expose list of caption tracks , allow download them in .srt or .sub format (not json).

i expect @ point there methods interacting captions in v3 of api, unfortunately don't have specific information share when might happen.
