Get YouTube video transcript into a text file

gistfile1.txt

from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi

# https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-downloading-captions-from-youtube/
srt = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript("_6YwF1OkbVU")

with open("subtitles.txt", "w") as f:
    for i in srt:
        f.write("{}\n".format(i.get('text')))


# some improvements to make in future
# 1. get name of video and put that as the filename instead of subtitles.txt
# 2. accept as an argument the video id, instead of replacing the hard-coded _6YwF10kbVU manually
