# What data can I extract with the YouTube Downloader?

The [Youtube Downloader](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/targets/youtube/youtube-downloader) (part of [Web Scraper API](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api/web)) assists you with extraction of full video content, audio files, [transcripts in 156 languages](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/targets/youtube/youtube-transcript), and [metadata](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/targets/youtube/youtube-metadata) such as title, views, likes, tags, and engagement metrics, helping you scrape a complete dataset for analysis.

Transcripts include both auto-generated and manually created versions, ensuring a high degree of accuracy for NLP and other text-based applications.

### Customization and limitations <a href="#h_041f1ad49c" id="h_041f1ad49c"></a>

Users can tailor API requests to extract only the specific data they need, such as filtering by language, selecting metadata fields, choosing the video quality, or downloading only audio instead of full video files.

While the API is designed for high-volume, business-critical operations, usage limits and quotas apply to ensure fair access and optimal performance for all users.
