Usage

YouTube Transcription (Synchronous)

YouTube transcripts are returned immediately — no waiting.

// TypeScript
const result = await client.transcribeYouTube(
  "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  {
    language: "en",                    // optional: "auto" | "en" | "es" | "fr" | "de" | "it"
    title: "My Video Title",           // optional
    webhookUrl: "https://example.com", // optional
  }
);
// result.transcript.content     -> full text
// result.transcript.id          -> transcript ID
// result.transcript.durationSeconds -> duration

# Python
result = client.transcribe_youtube(
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    language="en",
)

Media File Transcription (Asynchronous)

Media files are processed asynchronously. Poll for completion or use a webhook.

// TypeScript — with webhook
const job = await client.transcribeMedia(
  "https://storage.example.com/podcast.mp3",
  {
    title: "My Podcast",
    identifySpeakers: true,
    webhookUrl: "https://my-server.com/webhook",
  }
);
console.log(`Job ID: ${job.transcriptId}`);

// Poll for results
let transcript = await client.getTranscript(job.transcriptId);
while (transcript.status === "processing") {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5000));
  transcript = await client.getTranscript(job.transcriptId);
}
console.log(transcript.content);

# Python — polling
job = client.transcribe_media(
    "https://storage.example.com/podcast.mp3",
    identify_speakers=True,
)

transcript = client.get_transcript(job["transcriptId"])
while transcript["status"] == "processing":
    import time
    time.sleep(5)
    transcript = client.get_transcript(job["transcriptId"])

Check Transcription Status

const transcript = await client.getTranscript("cm_media_xyz789p");
// { id, status, title, durationSeconds, content, speakerData, costUnitsCharged }

transcript = client.get_transcript("cm_media_xyz789p")

Manage API Keys

// List keys
const keys = await client.listApiKeys();

// Create a new key (returns full key once)
const newKey = await client.createApiKey("My Agent Key");
console.log(newKey.key); // ws_live_...

// Revoke a key
await client.revokeApiKey(keys[0].id);

keys = client.list_api_keys()
new_key = client.create_api_key("My Agent Key")
client.revoke_api_key(keys[0]["id"])

Usage Logs

const logs = await client.getUsageLogs();
// [{ endpointType, status, costCharged, createdAt }]

logs = client.get_usage_logs()
