Can anyone provide an example of how to retrieve captions for YouTube video?
Based on API docs, API request https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=surfing&caption&v=2
returns list of videos about surfing with captions.
However a request for the first video from the list
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bQX4fustG9Q?v=2&key=DEVELOPERKEY
returns feed that shows no traces of captions.
What am I missing?
Can someone please post an example of request that will retrieve captions for that video?
According to the docs, you don't need to send any special parameters in the initial request, but instead retrieve videos normally and then look for the link with rel=http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video.captionTracks.
Note that the caption link is only visible to the owner of a video.
