Deployment — Render (easiest, free)

1. Push this folder to a GitHub repo.
2. Go to https://render.com → "New +" → "Web Service".
3. Connect your GitHub repo.
4. Render auto-detects render.yaml.
5. Add secret env var: APIFY_TOKEN = your Apify token.
6. Click "Create Web Service".
7. After ~2 minutes, your URL will be live at https://apify-rapidapi-proxy-XXXX.onrender.com

Deployment — Railway (alternative)

npm install -g @railway/cli
railway login
railway init
railway variables set APIFY_TOKEN=your_token_here
railway up

Local testing

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token_here
npm install
node server.js

Test with:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/youtube-transcript \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls":["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"],"language":"en"}'

RapidAPI integration

1. Deploy this server (above).
2. Copy the live URL.
3. On RapidAPI Provider Dashboard → your API → Definition → Base URL: paste the live URL.
4. Import openapi.json to auto-create all 4 endpoints with descriptions.
5. Set pricing tiers (suggested: Free 100/month, Basic $9, Pro $29, Ultra $99).
6. Publish.

RapidAPI security — proxy secret

RapidAPI sends every request with X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret header. To prevent people bypassing RapidAPI and calling your server directly:

1. In RapidAPI Provider Dashboard → your API → Settings → "Secret" → generate a random string.
2. Set same string as RAPIDAPI_PROXY_SECRET env var on Render.
3. Server will reject any request without that header.
