Hello guys,

I'm trying to build a script to automation fetch the youtube video's transcript to Airtable via API keys or Oauth 2.0 via Make.com. But when i'm trying to retrieve the transcript and fetch the data to Airtable, i cannot do that via API, so I have to create OAuth in Make.com. This is a script i used, but Airtable noticed me an error

console.error

  1. "Error fetching transcript:"
  1. {code: 403, message: "The permissions associated with the request are not sufficient to download the caption track. The request might not be properly authorized, or the video order might not have enabled third-party contributions for this caption.", errors: Array(1)}

Anyone has experience this issue or resolve it before. Pleases, let me know hown

Thank you so much

// Fetch the record that triggered the automation
let inputConfig = input.config();

let record = await table.selectRecordAsync(recordId);

if (videoURL) {
    let videoID = videoURL.split('v=')[1].split('&')[0];
    let accessToken = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'; // Replace with the actual access token

    // API call to get the caption list
    let response = await fetch(`https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/captions?videoId=${videoID}`, {
        headers: {
