Questions
Does it read the caption of the post?
No. It summarizes the spoken words. A reel with only music or text on screen has nothing to summarize.
Can the summary be wrong?
Yes. AI can miss or misread something, so check the transcript under the summary before you rely on a point.
Can it read a private account?
No. Private accounts are not read.
Is this tool free?
Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.
How do I get this data in my own app?
Send GET /v1/transcript with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit for captions; AI transcription 1 up to 2 minutes, then 5 per started minute of the whole video. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
