Media URLs

mediaUrls

Optional

Video, audio, podcast or direct-file URLs to transcribe. Works with TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), Rumble, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Twitch and 1800+ other sites, podcast RSS feeds (episodes are expanded automatically) and direct media links (mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, flac, …). Audio is extracted from video automatically.

Type:array

Min. items:1

Max. items:50

Upload audio or video files

audioFiles

Optional

Upload media straight from your computer instead of pasting a link. Each file is stored in this run's key-value store and transcribed exactly like a direct URL. Supported: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OPUS, OGG, M4A, MP4, MOV, WebM. You can combine this with Media URLs above — both lists run in the same job.

Type:array

Language (optional)

language

Optional

ISO 639-1 code of the spoken language (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'pt', 'de'). Leave empty to auto-detect — Whisper recognizes 99+ languages.

Type:string

Default:

Whisper model

model

Optional

Accuracy vs. speed trade-off. 'base' (default) is fast and accurate on clear speech, 'small' is the most accurate for hard audio, 'tiny' is fastest. All three are baked into the Actor image — no downloads at run time.

Type:string

Default:base

Options:

tinybasesmall

Translate to English

translateToEnglish

Optional

Instead of transcribing in the original language, output an English translation of the speech (Whisper's built-in translate task). SRT/VTT subtitles are translated too.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Word-level timestamps

wordTimestamps

Optional

Add per-word start/end times and confidence inside every segment (segments[].words). Needed for karaoke-style captions, precise clip cutting and word-accurate search. Costs roughly 15-25% extra transcription time, so it stays off by default.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max minutes per item

maxMinutesPerItem

Optional

Safety cap on how many minutes of media to transcribe per URL. Longer items are transcribed up to this cap and billed only for the transcribed minutes.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:600

Default:120

Max episodes per podcast feed

maxEpisodesPerFeed

Optional

When a URL is a podcast RSS/Atom feed, transcribe this many of the newest episodes (each episode becomes one output item).

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:1

Cookies (optional)

Optional

Contents of a Netscape cookies.txt exported from a logged-in browser session. Useful for YouTube (avoids the 'Sign in to confirm you're not a bot' gate) and for age/region-restricted content on any network. Leave empty for public content and direct files.

Type:string

Proxy configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Residential proxy by default — social networks (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, …) block datacenter IPs when downloading media. Podcast feeds and direct media files are fetched without a proxy automatically, so residential bandwidth is only spent where it is needed.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}
