Get your API Key

First, you’ll need to authenticate your requests. You can get your API key from the VerbalisAI Dashboard.
1

Sign up or log in

Create an account at www.verbalisai.com/dashboard/overview or log in if you already have one
2

Navigate to API Keys

Go to the API Keys section in your dashboard
3

Create new API Key

Click “Create New Key” and give it a descriptive name

Copy your key

Copy the generated API key - you won’t be able to see it again!
Keep your API key secure and never expose it in client-side code. Always use environment variables or secure configuration management.

​
Make your first API call

Here’s how to transcribe your first audio file: 
curl -X POST https://api.verbalisai.com/v1/transcript \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/your/audio.mp3"

​

A successful transcription response will look like this: 
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "trans_1234567890",
    "text": "Hello, this is a sample transcription of your audio file.",
    "confidence": 0.95,
    "language": "en",
    "duration": 12.5,
    "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
