Tools

• create_share_link ~215 tokens
  A public web page with the results of a completed job, for your user to open or send to others. Anyone with the link can see it until the job expires.
• create_upload ~544 tokens
  For a file on your machine: returns an upload_url. PUT the file to it, then call start_transcription. If your user attached or named a file, tell them it goes to convert.express for transcription, then try the PUT. If your sandbox has no network, ask your user to allow the upload host and try again.
• delete_job Deletes data · ~212 tokens
  Delete the uploaded file, the transcript and all other results of a job right away, instead of 24 hours after the last activity. Cannot be undone.
• estimate_cost ~183 tokens
  Price for transcribing a recording of a given length, and how many free minutes are left today — for your IP, or for your user's account once your robot_key is linked.
• get_job ~442 tokens
  Status and results of one job whose job_id you have (from transcribe_url, transcribe_file or create_upload; list_jobs finds a lost job_id). While status is "waiting_for_upload", "queued" or "processing", call it again every 10-20 seconds; each answer has a next_step. "completed": the transcript in t
• get_service_info ~181 tokens
  Call this first when you are new to convert.express, before quoting a price to your user, or when unsure whether a file, link or language is supported. Returns one JSON object: how_to_use (which tool to call in which order), free_use, price (per minute, minimum charges), models, language, speaker_la
• list_jobs ~116 tokens
  Your jobs that still exist (jobs are deleted 24 hours after the last activity), newest first, with their status.
• pay_job Moves money · ~269 tokens
  Pay for the full transcript of a job whose get_job status is "payment_required", with a card your user shared through a Stripe Shared Payment Token (MPP). Call without payment: you get a payment challenge with the exact price in EUR. Your MPP client pays it and calls again. Without an MPP wallet, sh
• request_summary ~244 tokens
  Ask for an AI summary or action items of a completed job. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job ("summary" / "action_items").
• send_feedback Sends messages · ~270 tokens
  Tell the convert.express team about a bug, a missing feature, or a question — from you or your user. A human reads every message; there is no automatic reply. Include reply_email only if your user wants an answer.
• start_transcription ~197 tokens
  Call after the PUT to upload_url has finished. Checks the file arrived and queues it.
• transcribe_file ~503 tokens
  Start transcribing an audio or video file your user attached in this chat. convert.express downloads it from the chat's temporary link. Returns job_id; then poll get_job.
• transcribe_url ~394 tokens
  Start transcribing a media file from a public link (direct file link, YouTube video or Simplecast podcast episode page). Returns job_id and robot_key; then poll get_job.
• translate ~327 tokens
  Translate the transcript, subtitles (timecodes kept), summary or action items of a completed job into another language. Returns at once; the result appears in get_job under "translations".
