## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You agree not to: Use the service unlawfully, or to infringe anyone else’s rights. Work around rate limits or the credit system, by opening multiple accounts to multiply the free grant, for example. Resell or redistribute the API itself as a competing transcript API. Probe, overload or attempt to disrupt the service or the infrastructure behind it. Use the service to build a dataset whose distribution would infringe the rights of the video creators. [...] Transcripts, titles, thumbnails and every other field the API returns originate from YouTube and belong to their rights holders. We grant you no license in them, because we hold none to grant. You are responsible for making sure your use of that content complies with copyright law, with YouTube’s terms, and with any other rules that apply to you.
