# Rumble Transcript API Beta Returns the timed transcript of a public Rumble video, short or past live stream: the uploader's caption track when there is one, otherwise Rumble's automatic captions, as segments with start and end times and the full text, in the language you ask for when Rumble has it. Each answer says which track it used, links its WebVTT file and lists every track the video has. Videos without captions are transcribed from their audio with speech-to-text. Accepts every Rumble video link form, embed links included, or a bare video ID.
