}Get clip transcript
Returns the words spoken in a clip with cuts applied — what viewers actually hear. Times are in ms relative to the clip’s playback start. Word indices are stable identifiers for cut-by-transcript; they don’t shift when cuts change. Pass startTimeMs/endTimeMs to read a long clip in windows; a word belongs to the window its start time falls in.

Path Parameters
Video identifier
"vid_abc123def456"
Clip identifier
"cl_xyz789ghi012"
Query Parameters
Only return items at or after this time, in ms on the clip's playback timeline. Defaults to the clip's start.
0 <= x <= 900719925474099160000
Only return items before this time (exclusive), in ms on the clip's playback timeline. Must be greater than startTimeMs. Defaults to the clip's end. Page through a long clip with windows that meet end to start.
1 <= x <= 9007199254740991120000
Response
OK
Clip transcript — what viewers hear.
Words on the playback timeline (cuts removed, times relative to the clip's playback start). Word indices are stable — they don't shift when cuts change; words inside cuts are simply absent.
Hide child attributes
Hide child attributes
Whether a subtitle break is forced after this word, so the next word always starts a new subtitle block
false
Word end time, in ms on the clip's playback timeline
x >= 01800
Whether the word is hidden by an edit
false
Stable index of the word in the source recording
0 <= x <= 900719925474099112
Whether this word's subtitle block is kept together with the next word across punctuation and pauses. The lines-per-block limit still applies and breakAfter wins.
false
Word start time, in ms on the clip's playback timeline
x >= 01500
Word text
"Hello"
