# 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. [Get API key](https://socialtap.dev/signup/?next=%2Fplayground%2F%3Fendpoint%3Drumble.transcript) ## 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.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/rumble/transcript/index.md). **Can I get the transcript in another language?** Yes, when the video has a caption track in it: send lang. Rumble has no translated tracks, so for a language the video lacks you get its default track, and language says which one it is. **How much does the Rumble Transcript API cost?** A request costs 1 credit for captions results (meta.source = captions) and 2 credits + 2 per started minute of media, up to 122 credits (60 started minutes of media) for speech-to-text results (meta.source = asr). SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack.
