Sessions

Create Session

Create a new scribing session. Returns a session_id that must be used in every subsequent call (audio upload, end session, status polling) and an upload_url to which audio is sent. Only upload_type is required — use single (one audio file, max 10 MB via the API; for larger recordings use the SDKs, which chunk automatically) unless you need chunked or streaming upload. The communication protocol is derived from upload_type by the server: single/chunked → http, stream → websocket.

Create a scribing session. Only upload_type is required — use single for the simplest flow (one audio file). Save the returned session_id for all subsequent calls.

single uploads are capped at 10 MB — for larger recordings use chunked or an SDK. The communication protocol is derived automatically: single/chunked → http, stream → websocket (returns a wss:// upload_url).

Next: Upload Audio → End Session → Get Session.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Body

application/json

upload_type

enum<string>

default:single

required

Audio upload method. single — one complete audio file up to 10 MB; chunked — sequential HTTP chunks for longer recordings; stream — real-time WebSocket. The communication protocol is derived automatically (single/chunked → http, stream → websocket).

Available options:

single,

chunked,

stream

language_hint

string[]

ISO 639-1 language code(s) hinting the audio input language. If your UI doesn't offer a language picker, use ["auto_detect"] for the best results.

Optional template IDs to extract (max 2). See List Templates for valid IDs.

Maximum array length: 2

Example:

["clinical_notes_template"]

session_id

string
