The V‑Cloud API is primarily used to submit audio files for transcription and to get results, but can also be used to determine if V‑Cloud is available by querying the /status endpoint.

URL: https://vcloud.vocitec.com/status

Response:

OK

Explanation:

A successful response returns HTTP code 200 and the text string OK if the V‑Cloud server is available. You do not need to pass a token to the service in order to make this call.

Tokens are used to authorize and authenticate requests made to the V‑Cloud API. Please protect your token as you would any other shared secret. Use of the token enables direct billing of transcription hours to your account.

The V‑Cloud API is comprised of two core methods:

/transcribe

The /transcribe endpoint accepts POST requests containing an audio file or a zip file containing one or more audio files to transcribe. Successful /transcribe requests return a requestid to identify results for retrieval and tracking.

/transcribe/result

The /transcribe/result endpoint accepts GET requests containing a valid requestid . Successful /transcribe/result requests return a URL with the results as a zip or JSON file. The format of your results depends on the options specified in the initial /transcribe request.
