Adding the title of the video in the metadata

Author: santaCruz1854789Created Jul 25, 2024Updated May 9, 2026

This request comes from the necessity to orderly save the transcribed file with a relevant and recognizable name. This addition should contribute to the API involvement in complex apps where you could for instance transcribe and save a batch of videos in an orderly manner.

I would like to have the metadata of the transcription include the title of the video as well.

The alternative is to fetch a YouTube Data API Key through Google Developers Console and use a different dedicated module to request it, which seems a bit and pardon my wording: "overkill."

In my case I'm trying to efficiently save and label video transcriptions file by minimizing the amount of time I have to manually interact with the code. In my case for every video I have to manually change the file name with the title of the video.

Thank you for reading my request.
