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

Many videos have auto-generated subtitles in multiple languages. Use format=json to get timing for each line (great for sync'd reading). Use include_timestamp=false for clean text suitable for translation apps.
