And we want to make sure that we get the endpoint that is here that says run actor synchronously and get data set items. Next, I'm going to copy this example input here. Now in your platform of choice, make sure you have a manual set up to send an HTTP post request to your own unique URL. And now I'm going to paste in the example input here. This actor supports multiple URLs, but for the sake of this example, I'm just going to use one URL for now. The example loom I'm going to use is this demo from loom itself here. I'm going to copy this link. I'm going to go back and I'm going to paste this in here. Now ideally, this would be a variable, but for the sake of this test, I'm just going to hard-code it. Now I'm going to run and test this step. All right, so the results came back. Let's open this up. And we'll see the URL of the loom that we transcribed. This is the entire transcript of that loom. And we'll see that there are no errors here. If there is an error, it will tell you what the error was. So for example, if you're trying to transcribe a private or you are all that's not formatted correctly, basically you'll see the error here, but error null is a good thing, which means that there is no error that came in. And then from here, we can just send this transcript into an LLM, into ChatGPT or Cloud or anything like that. Another step. And we also have the loom URL here as a reference so that way we know where the transcript came from. All right. Hope this helps. Thanks, guys.",
