When to use it

Use it to read or search what was said in a LinkedIn video; you are only charged when a transcript actually comes back.

Parameters

Query parameters for GET /v1/linkedin/post/transcript. Send your key in the x-api-key header.

NameRequiredDescription
urlYesFull URL of the LinkedIn post to transcribe.

Response fields

The same unified schema every platform returns, so code written for LinkedIn works on the other eight. A field the platform did not provide is null and listed in unavailable.

FieldTypeNotes
languagestring | nullThe content's language as the platform states it, e.g. en, pt-BR. Detected languages come later (§7.1).
textstring | null
segmentsarray | null

Every field, error and example is in the LinkedIn Post Transcript API reference.
