title: Audivo Data API
version: 0.16.0
description: 'The Audivo API turns a public podcast episode into a clean, timed transcript. Name an episode by an Apple Podcasts link, by its RSS feed URL and GUID, by the episode id an earlier answer gave you, or by an upload of audio you hold; get back structured, timed text — at once for an episode already transcribed, or as a job you poll for fresh audio. One call does it: `POST /v1/transcripts`. Quotes are for pricing a selection of many episodes before confirming it.
Two authentication schemes, and which an operation takes is part of what it is: `apiKeyBearer` — an `hk_live_` key sent as `Authorization: Bearer` — authenticates the public API, and `dashboardJwt` authenticates the dashboard''s own operations. No operation that takes one accepts the other in its place. An API-key caller reads its balance and reservations from any quote response.
The hosted MCP server at `/mcp` and the OAuth 2.1 endpoints that connect an assistant to it — `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`, and `/oauth/authorize`, `/oauth/token`, `/oauth/register`, `/oauth/revoke` — are protocol transports on the same host, not contract operations: an MCP client discovers and describes them from those two metadata documents (RFC 9728, RFC 8414), and they are documented with the MCP server. Their access tokens are checked by the same authorizer as an API key and metered by the same plan; the consent they need is two dashboard operations below, under **Connected Apps**.
Deferred on purpose, and absent from this document rather than hidden: webhooks, subscriptions, speaker labels beyond the frozen `diarized: false` shape, custom vocabulary, caller-selected engines, raw-audio URLs, SDKs, translation, and cross-corpus search. What changed in each version is on the documentation site''s changelog.'

description: 'Generates the paid-beta account export and returns an expiring download.
The document holds the account''s own record — its profile, its API key *metadata* (never a secret, which is not stored), its credit lots, its ledger events and its request log — read through the same access patterns the dashboard''s own pages read, so it introduces no view of an account that did not already exist.
`download_url` is a presigned URL to a private object and is the only thing that can reach it: the bucket blocks public access, the object carries no ACL, and the signature expires in **minutes**, not the 24 hours an oversized transcript''s delivery URL is given. The whole of an account''s record is a different object from one episode''s transcript, and it is treated as one. Past `expires_at` the link is refused, and the object itself is expired by a lifecycle rule shortly after; ask again to get a fresh one.
Refused on an account that is being deleted or is deleted: the records retained after a deletion are kept to answer a refund or a dispute, not to be read back by a session that outlived the account.'

description: 'Revokes access and deletes account-linked data under the disclosed retention/shared-cache policy. Does not promise deletion of a shared public-podcast cache object still used by other accounts.
**Every API key is revoked before anything is removed**, and the account''s API Gateway key is deleted with them, so no credential outlives the records it could have reached. The dashboard sign-in is deleted too, which is what makes the same address able to sign up again — as a new account, with no free grant, because the marker that fences one grant per address is a keyed hash that names nobody and survives.
**Unspent paid credits are forfeited.** The credit lots and the ledger events are retained so a refund or a payment dispute can still be answered, and they stay keyed to the deleted account: a later signup derives a new account id from a new sign-in identity and can never reach them. Refund an unused balance *before* deleting if you want it back.
Idempotent: deleting an account that is already deleted returns the same receipt rather than an error, and a deletion interrupted part way is finished by calling again.'

securitySchemes:
apiKeyBearer:
type: http
scheme: bearer
bearerFormat: hk_live_... or hk_test_...
description: '`Authorization: Bearer hk_live_...` for live keys or `Authorization: Bearer hk_test_...` for test-mode keys. `hk_test_` keys resolve real public catalog metadata but return deterministic committed fixtures, never call inference, and never mutate live credits. This is the *only* transport for the credential: the `x-api-key` alias once documented was removed in 0.2.0, because the edge authorizer reads `Authorization` as its single identity source and a request on any other header is refused before it is authenticated.
Never accepted on a `dashboardJwt` operation, and there are no exceptions. `GET /v1/usage` and `GET /v1/limits` briefly declared both schemes (0.8.0); that was withdrawn in 0.8.1 because no deployed route could honor it — both operations are served by the control-plane API, whose authorizer verifies a Cognito token and refuses an `hk_live_` credential on shape, and the customer API does not route either path. An API-key holder reads its balance and reservation from `QuoteResponse`, which carries `balance_credits` and `reserved_credits` on every quote. Every operation in this document takes one scheme or the other and refuses the wrong one as `unauthenticated`.'
dashboardJwt:
type: http
scheme: bearer
bearerFormat: JWT
description: 'A Cognito access token, issued through the dashboard''s own sign-up and sign-in pages (a backend-for-frontend; there is no Cognito Hosted UI) and sent as `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>`. Dashboard operations require this scheme and cannot be called with an API key, with no exception. `GET /v1/usage` and `GET /v1/limits` offered both schemes from 0.8.0; 0.8.1 withdrew that, because the control-plane API serves them alone and its authorizer has no API-key branch. An `account_id` supplied by the client is ignored; all reads/writes are scoped server-side to the authenticated account.'
