What it does
Feed it a list of video URLs or IDs. It returns a status row per video — available or unavailable, the error reason, a retry recommendation, and a dedupe key. Credit-safe: only successful transcripts cost a credit.
How it works
- 1You give it a list of video URLs or IDs.
- 2It checks each one for an available transcript.
- 3It labels each available or unavailable with a reason.
- 4You get a status row plus retry recommendation per video.
What you'll need
