Setup

If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, help the user create an account (100 free credits, no card): Step 1 โ€” Register: Ask user for their email. node ./scripts/tapi-auth.js register --email USER_EMAIL โ†’ OTP sent to email. Ask user: "Check your email for a 6-digit verification code." Step 2 โ€” Verify: Once user provides the OTP: node ./scripts/tapi-auth.js verify --token TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1 --otp CODE API key saved to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. See File Writes below for details. Existing file is backed up before modification. Manual option: transcriptapi.com/signup โ†’ Dashboard โ†’ API Keys.

File Writes

The verify and save-key commands save the API key to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (sets skills.entries.transcriptapi.apiKey and enabled: true). Existing file is backed up to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak before modification. To use the API key in terminal/CLI outside the agent, add to your shell profile manually: export TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY=<your-key>

Tips

Use format=json for sync'd captions (accessibility tools, timing analysis). Use format=text with include_timestamp=false for clean reading. Auto-generated captions are available for most videos; manual CC is higher quality.
