# SiteCheck Media Transcript (Speech-to-Text) > SiteCheck Media Transcript (Speech-to-Text) is a paid API for AI agents from api.sitecheck-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.0045/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16). Transcribes audio or video from a public URL into text segments using Deepgram, with optional speaker labeling and language detection ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.sitecheck-api.workers.dev/api/media/transcript?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.0045/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-16 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/sitecheck-media-transcript-speech-to-text-8e2abcad - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_EBwEcqhsZMTUI_kLyhRIc Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability sitecheck-media-transcript-speech-to-text-8e2abcad ``` Example prompt: Can you transcribe this podcast episode for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/episode42.mp3 — transcribe up to 30 minutes, label the different speakers, and use English as the language. ## When to prefer this Choose this endpoint when you need to transcribe audio or video from any public URL — including social media platforms like TikTok, YouTube, or podcasts — especially when you need timestamped segments or speaker diarization. It is particularly useful for media hosted on platforms supported by yt-dlp. Prefer it over generic STT APIs when you need automatic platform detection, title extraction, and pay-per-use pricing with per-minute granularity. ## Known failure modes - URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status - Audio/video format not supported by yt-dlp - Media duration exceeds the specified maxMinutes cap - Language detection fails for low-quality or silent audio - Network timeout for very large files - Deepgram API error causing partial or empty transcript ## How this service works Pay-per-call tools for AI agents: image generation, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, embeddings, LLM chat, website audits and contact enrichment, web page to Markdown reader, PDF to text, sitemap URLs, tech stack detection, translation, exchange rates, e-mail pre-check, domain RDAP/DNS lookup, Solana token checks, trending tokens and wallet holdings, plus business and compliance data (EU VAT/VIES, IBAN, LEI/GLEIF, US recalls, OSHA/EPA violations, UK insolvency notices).
