Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Pass Authorization: Bearer scripe_sk_live_<...> (or scripe_sk_test_<...> for test keys) on every request. Keys are scoped to a single workspace and can be revoked from the Scripe dashboard.

Headers

​
Scripe-Api-Version
string

Pin the API version. Format YYYY-MM-DD. Omit to receive the currently rolling default. Unknown versions return 400 version_unsupported.

Example:

"2026-08-01"

​
Idempotency-Key
string

Opaque string (1–64 chars, [A-Za-z0-9_-]) used to dedup retried writes. Within 24h of the first request, the same key

  • same body returns the original response (Idempotent-Replayed: true). Same key + different body returns 409 idempotency_key_conflict.

Strongly recommended for every write — see /docs/api/v1/idempotency.

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}$

Body

application/json
​
type
enum<string>
required
Available options:
text
​
projectId
string
required
Example:

"proj_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8"

​
text
string
required

Already-transcribed body text.

Maximum string length: 1000000
​
name
string | null

Optional human-friendly label.

Response

Source created synchronously (type: "text") or job enqueued (type: "file"). The response shape depends on which body was supplied — replayed via Idempotency-Key preserves the original shape.
