How do I get the transcript of a LinkedIn video post?
Send a GET request to /v1/linkedin/post/transcript with the video post URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the video's transcript text so you can index, search, or summarize spoken content without watching the video.
What happens if a post has no transcript?
When no transcript is available the response returns transcript:null with transcriptNotAvailable:true, and no credits are charged. You only pay when a transcript is actually returned, so failed lookups never cost you anything.
How much does the LinkedIn Post Transcript API cost?
A successful transcript costs 10 credits on the premium tier. Crucially, credits are deducted only when a transcript is returned; posts with no transcript come back free. New accounts get 100 free credits, no card.
Does every LinkedIn video have a transcript?
No. Transcripts depend on what LinkedIn has processed for the video, so some posts return transcriptNotAvailable:true. Because those responses are free, you can safely probe any video post without wasting credits.
What can I do with LinkedIn video transcripts?
Transcripts turn spoken video into searchable text, so teams use them to index content, feed summaries to an LLM, extract keywords, and make video posts accessible and analyzable alongside text posts.
Do I need OAuth or a LinkedIn app for transcripts?
No. Like every SocialCrawl endpoint, this one needs only your x-api-key and a LinkedIn video post URL. There is no OAuth flow, developer app review, or Marketing Developer Platform approval to complete.
