Example Use Cases
These are example ways Snow can use Happy Scribe when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.
Tool to confirm a pending order. Use after creating an order with confirm=false when you're ready to submit it for processing.
Create subtitles for a video file using Happy Scribe's automatic transcription service. Submits a video URL to be processed for subtitle generation. The video must be publicly accessible during ingestion. Returns a subtitle job with an editor URL for reviewing and editing the generated subtitles. Processing states progress from 'initial' -> 'ingesting' -> 'automatic_done' (or 'failed'). Use the GET transcription endpoint to check processing status.
Tool to create a translation order from an existing transcription. Use when you have a completed transcription and want translations into one or more languages. By default, the order remains incomplete unless confirm=true.
Creates an AI-powered translation task to translate an existing transcription into another language. Use this after a transcription is complete (state='automatic_done') to translate it. The task runs asynchronously - use Retrieve Translation Task to check progress and get results. Note: Not all language pairs are supported (e.g., German to English may fail).
Tool to delete a transcription job. Use when you have a transcription ID and want to remove it, optionally permanently. Use after confirming the transcription ID.
Deletes a webhook by its ID. This action is idempotent: if the webhook does not exist or was already deleted, it returns success. Use Get Webhooks to retrieve available webhook IDs.
Creates an export job to download transcription content in various formats. Use this action after a transcription job completes (state='automatic_done'). First obtain transcription IDs using the List Transcriptions action. The export job runs asynchronously - poll the Retrieve Export action with the returned export ID to check when the download URL becomes available (state='ready'). Supported formats: - Documents: txt, docx, pdf (support timestamps, speakers, comments, highlights) - Subtitles: srt, vtt, stl (standard caption formats) - Video editing: avid, premiere, fcp (professional editing software) - Other: html, json, maxqda
Tool to retrieve details about your account, including subscription status and usage statistics. Use after authenticating your API key to monitor plan and usage.
Get Happy Scribe API rate limit information. Returns the documented rate limit for the Happy Scribe API: - Default limit: 200 requests per hour - Applies only to the transcription creation endpoint - When rate limited, API returns HTTP 429 with 'retry_in_seconds' in the body Note: Happy Scribe does not expose rate limit headers, so this tool provides documented defaults. If you encounter a 429 response during transcription creation, wait for the 'retry_in_seconds' value before retrying. For higher limits, contact sales@happyscribe.co with subject "Happy Scribe for Business".
Tool to retrieve current API version and check for updates. If Happy Scribe does not expose a dedicated /version endpoint, this tool attempts to infer the version from HTTP response headers or from the base_url path (e.g., /api/v1).
