This feature requires an older version of export.py. Get this file, Python 3, and the requests module (pip install requests). Then, simply run python3 exporter.py followed by a list of space-separated YouTube video IDs, and all community-contributed captioning and titles/descriptions in all languages will be exported.

Discover Videos Manually

Simply run python3 discovery.py followed by a list of space-separated YouTube video IDs and a list of discovered video, channel and playlist IDs will be printed, as well as whether caption contributions are enabled.
