You can use the Video Highlight API to transcribe, summarize, and analyze videos. This API is useful for creating video highlights, generating video transcripts, and extracting insights from videos.

Authentication

The Video Highlight API uses API keys for authentication. Visit your API Keys page to retrieve the API key you'll use in your requests.

Note: your API key is a secret! Do not share it with others or expose it in any client-side code (browsers, apps). Requests should be routed through server code where your API key can be securely loaded from an environment variable or key management service.

All API requests should include your API key in an Authorization HTTP header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer VIDEOHIGHLIGHT_API_KEY

Making your first request

Paste the command below into your terminal to run your first API request. Replace $VIDEOHIGHLIGHT_API_KEY with your secret API key.

curl --location 'https://videohighlight.com/api-v1/transcripts/65_PmYipnpk?languageCode=en' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'API-Key: $VIDEOHIGHLIGHT_API_KEY'
