Query parameters for GET /v1/rumble/video/transcript. Send your key in the x-api-key header.
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|

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

|---|---|---|
| language | string | null | The content's language as the platform states it, e.g. en, pt-BR. Detected languages come later (§7.1). |
| text | string | null | |
| segments | array | null |
Every field, error and example is in the Rumble Video Transcript API reference.
