# Videos to text: What does this video say?

Videos to text runs on 7 platforms: the example run makes 1 calls and costs at most $0.0020.

Gets the transcript of each video by its link, as one table: link, language, full text. Every video is one call charged on its own; a video without a transcript is not charged and is left out. A summary is for your own agent to write.

- Example run: $0.0020 (at most. A failed call is never charged)
- Calls: 1 (with the example inputs)
- Hard ceiling: 10 calls, no run is opened above $0.0500

## Ask it like this

- What does this TikTok video say? Give me the full transcript.
- Turn these five YouTube links into text and summarise each one in two lines.
- Get the transcripts of these videos and list every product they mention.

## What it does

Four steps. Only the second calls endpoints, so only the second costs money.

1. Show the plan first: Free, and needs no key: the most calls and the most money this run can come to.

```bash
dataxapi run transcripts platform=tiktok links=https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7665840565958872333 --plan
```

2. Run it, capped at that amount: Each line is one endpoint of the example run, at its listed price.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [TikTok video transcript](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/videos/transcript/get/) `GET /v1/tiktok/videos/transcript/get` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 |

1 call · at most $0.0020. A call that fails is not charged. The run stops rather than spend more than its cap.

```bash
dataxapi run transcripts platform=tiktok links=https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7665840565958872333 --yes --max-spend 0.002 --out transcripts.csv
```

3. Line everything up in one table: 3 columns, the same on every platform; a column a platform does not give is empty. No call, no cost.

4. Your AI reads the table and answers: What the table means is for your AI to say. It ends with where the data came from and when.

## What you get back

An illustration of the table, with the task's real columns. The names and figures in it are made up.

| Link | Language | Transcript |
| --- | --- | --- |
| https://www.tiktok.com/@trailbrew/video/… | en | Okay, so we are at twenty-four hundred metres, and water boils at ninety-two degrees up here… |
| https://www.tiktok.com/@summitcup/video/… | en | Three things under fifteen dollars that changed my camp coffee. Number one… |

All 3 columns: `link` (Link), `lang` (Language), `text` (Transcript)

## Inputs it needs

|  |  |  | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `platform` | one platform | The platform the videos are on | `tiktok` |
| `links` | list, up to 10 | Links to the videos, at most 10 | `https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa/video/7665840565958872333` |
