Step-by-step: Video transcription

GET
/v1/reddit/post/transcript

Returns the transcript of a Reddit video post, both the raw caption file and a plain-text version, when Reddit publishes captions for it.

Use it for video posts; when Reddit exposes no captions the transcript comes back empty and flagged rather than as an error.

100 credits per call.
