## Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "transcript": "Hey everyone, today I want to walk\nyou through how we built the new product line...",
  "credits": 994
}
```

`transcript` is a plain string with newlines between spoken lines — there is no per-line timing in the LinkedIn response and no `videoUrls` field. LinkedIn is a transcript-only platform.

## Supported URL formats

| Format                 | Example                                                               |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Public post with video | `https://www.linkedin.com/posts/{author}_{slug}-activity-{id}-{code}` |

Only public post URLs that contain a video are accepted. Member profile, company page, and article URLs without an embedded video are rejected with `400 Invalid URL`.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do private or connections-only LinkedIn posts work?">
    No. Only publicly viewable posts can be transcribed. Posts visible to connections only, or to a restricted audience, can't be fetched because the API can't authenticate as a connection.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does every LinkedIn post work?">
    Only posts that contain a video. Text-only posts, image posts, and document/carousel posts have nothing to transcribe and are rejected.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the response include timestamps?">
    No. LinkedIn transcripts are returned as plain text with newlines between lines — there is no per-line timing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if the video has no transcript?">
    If the post's video has no available transcript, you'll get `404 No transcript available` and you won't be charged.
