For developers and automation
Short Video Transcription API
If you need video-to-text inside your own tools, back office, or agent workflow, use the Videosays API. Submit public links, poll task status, and retrieve transcript results through REST endpoints.
The REST API creates tasks, checks status, and returns text, SRT, or VTT · Publicly accessible links only
What you get
Connect short-video transcription to your own system
The API is built for batch processing, backend jobs, agent runtimes, and content analysis systems. Submit a public video link, store the task ID, and retrieve text, timestamps, and subtitle files when the job completes.
Submit a public video link and create a transcription task.

The smallest useful API loop
Create an API key
Generate an API key in the dashboard and pass it in the request header.
Submit links and store task IDs
Your backend submits public short-video links and stores returned task IDs in a database or queue.

Use cases for short video transcription API
Batch process video links into a database
Integrate transcription into internal content tools
Give agents a stable video-to-text capability
Feed raw transcripts into summarization and classification workflows
Which teams should use the API
When you need more than occasional manual extraction, the API is more reliable than dashboard-only workflows. It is designed for content tools, data analysis, operations dashboards, and agent automation.
Basic integration model
Get an API key in the dashboard, submit a public short-video share link, then use the status endpoint to retrieve the result. The docs include request formats, errors, and examples.
How it relates to Skill and CLI
The Skill and CLI are convenient layers on top of the same core capability. Individual users can start with them; product teams usually integrate directly through REST API.
