Deploy up to 5 instances of it to a free Heroku account (total max monthly runtime 550 hours) with no need for credit card verification by clicking the button below.

Archiving Worker⭐️

python3 worker.py

Docker image⭐️⭐️

Stable Docker Image:

docker pull fusl/ytcc-archive

Run:

docker container run --restart=unless-stopped --network=host -d --tmpfs /grab/out --name=grab_ext-yt-communitycontribs -e HSID=XXX-e SID=XXX -e SSID=XXX -e TRACKER_USERNAME=Fusl -e PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 fusl/ytcc-archive

Bonus Features

Export Captions and Titles/Descriptions Manually

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.
