  title: Happy Scribe Exports Orders API
  description: The Happy Scribe API turns audio and video into text and subtitles programmatically. Submit work through the Orders API (automatic/machine or professional/human service), manage the resulting transcriptions, export finished transcripts into 15+ formats (SRT, VTT, STL, DOCX, PDF, TXT, JSON, CSV, XLSX, and editing-suite formats), and administer organizations and their members. Files are ingested by public URL or via a signed upload. All requests are REST over HTTPS and authenticated with a Bearer API token from your Happy Scribe account settings. Base URL https://www.happyscribe.com/api/v1. Endpoint paths and fields are grounded in the public developer documentation (dev.happyscribe.com); request/response schemas below are honestly modeled from that documentation and may not enumerate every field.
