תמלולים V2

V2 הוא מודל התמלולים המיועל, שבו התמלולים שייכים למשתמש. הוא מתעדף שליפות מהירות מהמטמון, תגובות עקביות ובלי תרגומים מפתיעים, אלא אם ביקשתם שפה.

חדש: פרמטר mode אחד לכל מקורות התמלול

בחרו auto, captions_only, human_captions_only, speech_to_text_only במקום לשלב בין source ל-allow_asr. בקשות קיימות ממשיכות לעבוד בדיוק כמו קודם. איך זה עובד

מפרט OpenAPI

הורידו את קובץ ה־YAML כדי לייבא אותו ל־Postman או ל־Insomnia, לייצר לקוחות, או להדביק אותו ב־ChatGPT / Claude.

OpenAPI 3.0: V2 (מומלץ)

תמלול סרטון בודד

הדרך המהירה ביותר לסרטון אחד בכל פעם. תמלולים מבוססי כתוביות חוזרים תוך שניות ספורות. ASR רץ באופן אסינכרוני, ואת התוצאה מתשאלים דרך /api/v2/jobs/{job_id}.

תמלול סרטון

Transcribe a single YouTube video. Returns immediately for caption-based videos. With mode=auto it falls back to ASR (async) when captions are unavailable: you get status processing and a job_id to poll at /api/v2/jobs/{job_id}, or the result is POSTed to webhook_url if you set one. Responses include the mode the request ran with.

POST/api/v2/transcribe
פרמטרים
videostringחובה

YouTube URL or 11-character video ID. Required unless upload_id is set.

upload_idstring

Transcribe an uploaded media file instead of a YouTube video (see /uploads). Forces the ASR path (mode must be omitted or speech_to_text_only); webhook_url required. The upload id is returned as video_id in results.

modeauto | captions_only | human_captions_only | speech_to_text_only

Where the transcript comes from (recommended). auto: captions first, speech-to-text (ASR) only if the video has none. captions_only: any captions, never ASR. human_captions_only: human-made captions only. speech_to_text_only: always transcribe the audio. auto and speech_to_text_only can charge ASR credits. Replaces source + allow_asr; cannot be combined with them. Note: mode=auto is not the same as legacy source=auto (captions only, which is mode=captions_only). When omitted, your account default from the API Dashboard applies: auto for accounts created from October 2026, captions_only for older accounts unless changed. ASR modes work without webhook_url: poll the returned job_id.

languageISO 639-1

Preferred transcript language (e.g. en). If unavailable, captions in another language may be returned: transcript.language reports the actual language.

sourceauto | manual | asr

Legacy, still supported: use mode instead. Default: auto. asr transcribes the audio (async, requires webhook_url).

allow_asrboolean

Legacy, still supported: use mode=auto instead. Falls back to ASR if captions fail.

formatobject

{ timestamp, paragraphs, words }: include extra structure in the transcript.

webhook_urluri

When set, ASR results are POSTed to your URL. Optional with mode (poll the job_id instead); required for legacy source=asr. Ignored by captions_only and human_captions_only, which never use ASR.

asr_optionsobject

Rich ASR config: language (+ codeSwitching, medicalMode, keyTerms), translateTo, speaker diarization (speakerLabels, speakerId + type/known values, multichannel, exact or min/max expected speakers), speech understanding (topics, summary, moderation, PII, profanity, sentiment), and formatting (punctuation, text formatting, filler words, custom date/phone/email patterns). Billable add-ons increase cost: preview with /transcribe/estimate. See the AsrOptions schema in the OpenAPI spec.

תמלול ריל מאינסטגרם

Transcribe an Instagram Reel. Uses the Reel's captions when it has them, otherwise transcribes its audio (about 15 to 20 seconds). The transcript is saved like a YouTube one with video_id instagram_<code>: read it with GET /api/v2/transcripts/{video_id} and file it in folders. Transcribing a Reel you already have is free.

POST/api/v2/social/transcribe1 credit with captions; otherwise 1 credit per 2 minutes of audio (minimum 1). Refunded if it fails.

בדיקת סטטוס משימה

Poll a single transcription job. Use this for ASR jobs returned from /transcribe. Returns 202 while running and 200 when complete. Completed ASR jobs include asr_intelligence (summary, topics, sentiment, etc.) when those options were enabled. With speaker labels on (asr_options.speakerLabels or speakerId), every segment carries a speaker field ("A", "B", ... or a name or role with speakerId), and so does every word when you add include_words=true. There is no separate speakers or utterances object.

Identifier returned in the original transcribe response.

include_segmentsboolean

העלאת מדיה משלכם

תמללו קובצי אודיו או וידאו משלכם דרך צינור ה־ASR. שלושה שלבים: רושמים את ההעלאה, שולחים את הבייטים ב־PUT לכתובת ה־URL החתומה ומסיימים את ההעלאה. לאחר מכן קוראים ל־/transcribe עם upload_id. התוצאות מגיעות דרך ה־webhook שלכם, ואפשר לתשאל אותן כמו כל משימת ASR.

העלאת קובץ

Register an audio/video file upload and get a signed URL. PUT the raw file bytes to signed_url (with the file's Content-Type), finalize via /uploads/{upload_id}/complete, then transcribe with upload_id on /transcribe. Max 2GB and 8 hours per file.

קבלת נושאים ומילות מפתח

AI key moments, themes & keywords for a stored transcript: a short TL;DR, the key moments worth finding again (each a short label plus the exact quote, with where it starts and ends), its main themes, and each keyword with the timestamps where it's said. 1 credit per transcript, charged once: calling it again (or GET) is free. Waits up to ~25s; a 202 "processing" means it's paid for and still running, so poll GET. If detection fails the credit is refunded. Transcripts too short to analyse return empty themes for 0 credits. 402 without enough credits.
