Build with KolWrite
Everything you do in the KolWrite app, as an API: upload media, run transcription with full options, burn captions, export transcripts, share results, and use managed AI — authenticated with personal access tokens.
Quickstart
Create a token, upload a file, transcribe it, and export the transcript — end to end with curl.
GuideAuthentication & scopes
Personal access tokens, the scope model, expiry and revocation, and how enforcement responds.
GuideErrors & rate limits
Error codes, retry guidance, rate-limit headers, and idempotent job creation.
GuideAI agents
A token from an environment variable, the right scopes, and the path from a recording to a transcript and SRT that an agent can follow.
GuideOpenAI-compatible endpoints
Chat, responses, embeddings and short-clip transcription behind the OpenAI shapes: swap the base URL in an OpenAI SDK.
ReferenceAPI reference
Every public endpoint with schemas, required scopes, and ready-to-run code samples.
Machine-readableOpenAPI spec
The complete v1 contract as OpenAPI 3.1 — generate clients and agent tools directly from it.
Machine-readablellms.txt
A compact index for AI agents: the spec, the guides as raw markdown, and the core workflow.
