LinkedIn Post Transcript API
Scrape LinkedIn Post Transcript data with one API call. Fetches the transcript from a LinkedIn post video when LinkedIn exposes one publicly. Returns `transcript: null` with `transcriptNotAvailable: true` if the post has no transcript — credits are only deducted when a transcript is actually returned.
