Rumble Transcript API. Send a video link or ID.
Timed transcript of any video or past stream. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.
Rumble Transcript API at a glance
Returns the timed transcript of a public Rumble video, short or past live stream, from its captions or, when it has none, its audio. Each segment has its start and end time, and text holds the whole transcript. The uploader's captions win over Rumble's automatic ones; the answer names the track it used, links its WebVTT file and lists every track the video has. Accepts any Rumble video link, embed links included, or a video ID.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.
Null means unknown
A field Rumble doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
Rumble video, short or live stream URL (rumble.com/v…-title.html, /shorts/v…, /share/v…, /embed/v…/) or a video ID (v…).
Write one parser
Rumble, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.
platformstring- Platform the media is hosted on.
idstring- Platform-native ID of the post (equals post.id); of an ad library entry, its library ID (equals ad.id).
urlstring- Canonical URL of the post (of an ad library entry, its library page).
languagestring- BCP-47 language of the returned transcript; null when unknown.
sourcestring- captions = platform caption track; asr = speech-to-text on the audio. New values may be added.
is_auto_generatedboolean- True when the track was machine-generated (platform auto-captions or ASR).
available_languagesstring[]- BCP-47 caption languages the platform offers for this post; [] if none or not listed.
duration_msinteger- Media duration in milliseconds; null when unknown.
Live data from 33 platforms.
What teams build with the Rumble Transcript API.
Summarize or search videos and podcasts with AI
Monitor what channels say about a brand
Index a channel's back catalog for RAG
Turn stream replays into articles and clips
Good to know before you build.
- A stream that is on air now, or has not started, has no transcript yet (no_transcript): Rumble captions it once it ends.
- Speech-to-text runs only for a video with no caption track, up to a length limit, and returns no_transcript when the video has no audio or speech.
- is_auto_generated is true for Rumble's automatic captions and for speech-to-text. platform_specific.rumble.track_label is Rumble's own label for the track used.
