The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/twitch/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 Twitch 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 (clips.twitch.tv/\, twitch.tv/\/clip/\, m.twitch.tv/clip/\, clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip=\) or its slug. - ### Write one parser Twitch, 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.
