Rumble video transcript

Beta GET /v1/rumble/video/transcript

GET /v1/rumble/video/transcript

Captions when Rumble has them (its own auto captions count as captions); AI transcription of the audio when it does not.

  • Cost: 1 credit for captions; AI transcription 1 up to 2 minutes, then 1 per started minute
  • Status: Beta. Built and tested against recorded responses; the shape may still gain fields.
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

urlURLyesVideo URL (rumble.com/v...-title.html). Accepted hosts: rumble.com.

Every request also accepts:

  • trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.
  • raw: true to also get the platform's original object as raw.
  • max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).
