## FAQ

### How do I get a Rumble video transcript with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/rumble/video/transcript with the full Rumble video URL in the url parameter. When the video has captions, SocialCrawl returns the transcript as text in one JSON response.

### What happens if a Rumble video has no captions?

The transcript field comes back null and no credits are deducted. You only pay for requests that actually return transcript text, so you can probe a video list safely without burning credits on caption-less uploads.

### How much does the Rumble Transcript API cost?

Transcript requests are premium tier at 10 credits per successful hit. Requests that return null because captions don't exist cost nothing. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required.

### What can I build with Rumble transcripts?

Full-text search over video libraries, LLM summarization and topic extraction, quote attribution for journalism and research, and compliance or moderation review — transcripts turn hours of video into text your existing NLP stack can process.

### Are Rumble transcripts available for every video?

No. Transcripts depend on Rumble exposing captions for that video. When captions exist you get the text; when they don't, the endpoint returns null without charging credits, so coverage varies by creator and upload.
