      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Cut audio from a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or SoundCloud URL and return a short-lived download link. Lead with download_url for cut/download requests; offer editor_url when the user wants to tweak the selection. Links expire after about an hour — ask again in chat for a fresh cut if expired. Omit start_sec and end_sec for the full track. format defaults to mp3 (wav allowed). clip_id and peaks drive the interactive clip card some chat apps show; do not show them to the user. If the user adjusted the clip in the card, read the widget context for the current range and download link before answering follow-ups.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Re-cut a clip from Samplecut's clip card to a new start/end, reusing the audio already extracted for it. Called by the interactive card; to cut something new, use cut_audio.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_transcript" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Fetch timestamped captions for a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or SoundCloud URL when the platform provides them. Use segment start_sec/end_sec (or the flat text) to choose a cut range, then call cut_audio with the same URL and those times. When available is false there are no captions — do not invent lyrics or timestamps; tell the user to pick times another way. Optional lang is a BCP-47 code (default en). No job_id is returned.
