What Makes This API Special

No Twitter API Key

You do not need an X/Twitter developer account or API key. Just pass the post URL and get the transcript — no extra setup.

AI Transcription

Audio is extracted from the video and transcribed by our AI engine. Works regardless of whether the original post has captions.

Automatic Language Detection

The spoken language is identified automatically. The response includes a lang code so you know what was transcribed.

Timestamped Segments

Receive a segment array with start offset and text for each spoken chunk — suitable for building caption overlays or searchable clips.

Smart Caching

Identical URLs are cached after the first request. Repeat lookups are instant and do not consume additional credits.

Unified Platform Schema

The response format matches our YouTube and Facebook transcript APIs. One response parser handles all platforms.

FAQs

X (Twitter) Transcript API Questions

Does it work for both twitter.com and x.com URLs?

Yes. Both domain formats are accepted. The API normalizes the URL automatically — just paste what you see in the browser.

What about videos in quote tweets?

Pass the URL of the original post containing the video. If the video is embedded in a quote tweet, use the source post URL.

Can I transcribe X Spaces?

X Spaces are not currently supported as they use a different audio streaming format. Only video posts are supported.

What if the post is private or the account is suspended?

Private accounts, suspended accounts, and deleted posts return a 404 error. Only publicly visible video posts can be transcribed.

Is there a video length limit?

X videos are typically short (under 2 minutes for most posts). There is no hard limit, but very long X video files may take longer to process.
