gettranscribe_create_transcription
Create a transcription from an Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook video URL
LABSCO SUMMARY
Taking the API key on the consent page instead of in the chat is a small design choice with a real security consequence.
Several vendors here require pasting a key into a conversation, which puts it in the history. GetTranscribe collects it once during OAuth consent and issues a scoped token instead — the credential never appears in a message. On the product, covering four social platforms from one URL-based tool is the useful part: research across TikTok and YouTube stops being two workflows.
What it is
GetTranscribe's endpoint. Six tools: three for transcriptions and three for the folders that organise them. The consent page takes your API key once, so it never goes into a conversation.
What you get
- gettranscribe_create_transcription — from an Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook video URL
- gettranscribe_get_transcription — a past transcription by id, with full text and metadata
- gettranscribe_list_transcriptions — search or list the history
- gettranscribe_create_folder, gettranscribe_get_folder, gettranscribe_list_folders
Requirements
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, scope transcribe. Free covers 2 video analyses and 10 AI questions; Pro is $9.99/month with fair-use limits of 3,000 processing minutes and 3,000 questions, plus API access.
Setup effort
Paste a URL, then authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
