Enable AI-Generated Transcriptions and Subtitles Using the Zype Import API

Zype’s Import API now allows you to automatically generate AI-powered transcriptions and subtitles when importing video content. By setting the auto_transcribe flag to true, Zype will create subtitle files in both SRT and WebVTT formats after import.

This feature helps you improve accessibility and discoverability of your video content without requiring any manual subtitle setup.

What It Does

When auto_transcribe is set to true, Zype will:

  • Automatically transcribe the video using AI.

  • Generate subtitle files in SRT and WebVTT formats.

  • Store the subtitles within the Zype CMS under the video’s Subtitles tab.

Note: If auto_transcribe is not provided in the request, Zype will fall back to the site-level transcription setting defined in Site Settings.

How to Use the Import API

To trigger transcription during import, pass the auto_transcribe parameter with a value of true in your API request.

Example Request

bash
curl --request POST \ --url https://api.zype.com/video_imports \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '
{
   "video_import": {
     "auto_transcribe": true
   }
}
'

You can also include other metadata such as title, video_source_url, and category_ids in the same payload.
