**APIs profiled:** 7

Happy Scribe is a transcription, subtitling, and translation platform. Its REST API (base https://www.happyscribe.com/api/v1, Bearer-token auth) turns audio and video into text with automatic (machine) or professional (human) transcription, generates and translates subtitles/captions, and exports finished transcripts into 15+ formats (SRT, VTT, STL, DOCX, PDF, TXT, JSON, CSV, XLSX, plus editing-suite formats like Adobe Premiere XML, Final Cut Pro XML, EDL, and Avid DS). Work is organized under organizations and folders, files are ingested by URL or signed upload, and webhooks notify consumers when transcriptions complete.
