Retrieve the transcription of an asset

This method retrieves the transcription of a video or audio asset. An asset that has a transcription returns `200` with the current transcription status. The endpoint returns `404` when the asset cannot be found or has no transcription. The platform generates transcriptions asynchronously. Poll this endpoint to monitor the transcription status. When the status is `ready`, the response contains the segmentations you requested that the transcription supports. A transcription does not always support every segmentation, so read the segmentations the response returns rather than assuming every requested one is present.

Query parameters

includelist of enumsOptional
Specifies the transcriptions to return. Each value segments the transcription differently: - `words`: One entry for each word. - `sentences`: One entry for each chunk the speech recognition model detects as a sentence. - `utterances`: One entry for each speaker turn. Send repeated values, such as the `?include=words&include=utterances` query string. The platform also accepts one comma-separated value, such as the `?include=words,utterances` query string. **Default**: `words`.
