# Kick Clip Transcript API. Send a clip link or ID. Timed transcript of a clip, from its audio. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes. [Get API key](https://socialtap.dev/signup/?next=%2Fplayground%2F%3Fendpoint%3Dkick.transcript) ## Kick Clip Transcript API at a glance Returns the timed transcript of a public Kick clip from any of its links or its ID, transcribed from the clip's audio. Each segment has its start and end time, with the full text, the language heard and the clip's length. Kick has no captions to read, so every transcript comes from speech-to-text, on HLS clips and the older MP4 clips alike.

Real responses are complete. ## One schema on 9 platforms. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/kick/transcript/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/transcript/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Kick doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts The clip: its link (kick.com/xqc/clips/clip_01JGJHB6CEVFCQRYTVPM8DW892), the older kick.com/xqc?clip=\, a clips page with ?clip=\, its file on clips.kick.com, or its ID (clip_01JGJHB6CEVFCQRYTVPM8DW892). - ### Write one parser Kick, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform the media is hosted on. - **`id`string**: Platform-native ID of the post (equals post.id); of an ad library entry, its library ID (equals ad.id). - **`url`string**: Canonical URL of the post (of an ad library entry, its library page). - **`language`string**: BCP-47 language of the returned transcript; null when unknown. - **`source`string**: captions = platform caption track; asr = speech-to-text on the audio. New values may be added. - **`is_auto_generated`boolean**: True when the track was machine-generated (platform auto-captions or ASR). - **`available_languages`string\[\]**: BCP-47 caption languages the platform offers for this post; \[\] if none or not listed. - **`duration_ms`integer**: Media duration in milliseconds; null when unknown.

It can also run a little past duration_ms, Kick's stated length, so the last cue can end after it. - A clip is read by its ID, so a link with another channel's name returns the clip with its real channel and canonical url. ## From 2 credits per request.
