Request for Guidance on Translating YouTube Videos Using Only URLs

[new710989-cyber]

Hello, I'm a student working on educational content that is not in my native language. Quite often, this requires me to have an accurate translation of long YouTube lectures. This is often the case when direct downloading of videos isn't possible, which limits me to only using the YouTube URL as input.

I'd like to understand if Deepgram supports transcription and translation workflows that can take in the URL of a YouTube video directly with no need for me to already download the video or audio beforehand. If so, please guide me on how to do that. If not, please give me the recommended workflow or best practice to do translation with just URLs.

My objectives are to generate high-quality English transcripts or subtitles from YouTube links, especially for study purposes in instances where the videos do not have captions included or are created in a foreign language.

Thank you for your help and any resources you can provide.
