How do I get a transcript from a Twitter video?

Send a GET request to /v1/twitter/tweet/transcript with the tweet URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the auto-generated captions for videos attached to that tweet, in timed text format with precise start and end timestamps per segment.

What tweets does the transcript endpoint support?

Any public tweet containing a video — original video posts, quote tweets with video, or replies with video attachments. GIFs and image-only tweets return an empty transcript since there's no audio track to caption.

How much does a tweet transcript cost?

Ten credits per request on the premium tier. Transcripts are premium-priced because SocialCrawl runs the full caption extraction pipeline on every request. New accounts get 100 free credits — enough to try 10 transcripts before paying.

Does the transcript include timestamps?

Yes. Each caption segment returns with start and end timestamps (in seconds), so you can build click-to-seek UIs, search within video, or feed timecoded transcripts into analytics and AI pipelines directly.

What language does the transcript return?

Whatever language the video's auto-generated caption track detects. SocialCrawl passes the captions through as-is without translation. Combine with a translation API if you need to localize transcripts for search or content workflows.
