Video Transcripts

API keyData & EnrichmentOrg connection

Org-level connection

Video Transcripts is connected once at the org level by an admin. The credential is shared across all groups that have been granted access — individual team members don't need to connect their own accounts.

Getting your API key

Video Transcripts is provisioned at the platform level — no per-org credentials required. Your On Belay administrator enables or disables access for your organization.

IMPORTANT — usage billing: the transcript provider charges per video. A transcript built from the video's existing captions is the cheapest; when a video has no captions the provider may generate one with AI, which is billed per minute of video. On Belay restricts every request to YouTube video URLs, plain-text transcripts, and existing captions only — it never requests AI generation, so a video without captions returns no transcript — to protect the shared quota.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" or "Unauthorized" error

Double-check that you copied the full key without any leading/trailing spaces. Some platforms show a truncated preview — make sure to copy the full token. If the key was generated with restricted scopes, verify it includes the permissions listed above.

Connected but Claude can't access data

Check that your group has been granted access to this integration in On Belay → Groups → [your group] → Integrations. Also verify the specific scopes your group is permitted to use match what your query requires.

The key expires or stops working

Some API keys have expiration policies. Generate a new key in Video Transcripts and update it in On Belay → Integrations → Video Transcripts → Update key. Consider creating a dedicated service account or machine user for On Belay so the key isn't tied to a personal account.
