Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "rumble",
"endpoint": "/v1/rumble/video-transcript",
"data": {
"has_transcript": false,
"id": "example",
"language": "example",
"platform": "example",
"transcript": "example",
"url": "https://example.com/example"
},
"credits_used": 5,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
has_transcript | boolean | null | Optional has transcript supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
id | string | null | Source identifier. Preserve the supplied type and exact value. |
language | string | null | Optional language supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
platform | string | null | Optional platform supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
transcript | string | null | Optional transcript supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
url | string | null | Original source URL when supplied. |
Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.
The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
