YouTube transcripts
===================

This covers how to load youtube transcript into LangChain documents.

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

You'll need to install the [youtube-transcript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtube-transcript) package and [youtubei.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtubei.js) to extract metadata:

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install youtube-transcript youtubei.js

    yarn add youtube-transcript youtubei.js

    pnpm add youtube-transcript youtubei.js

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------

You need to specify a link to the video in the `url`. You can also specify `language` in [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) and `addVideoInfo` flag.

    import { YoutubeLoader } from "langchain/document_loaders/web/youtube";const loader = YoutubeLoader.createFromUrl("https://youtu.be/bZQun8Y4L2A", {  language: "en",  addVideoInfo: true,});const docs = await loader.load();console.log(docs);

#### API Reference:

*   [YoutubeLoader](https://v02.api.js.langchain.com/classes/langchain_document_loaders_web_youtube.YoutubeLoader.html) from `langchain/document_loaders/web/youtube`
