Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

  • check_balance

    Check the remaining Importly credit balance for the configured API key. Use this to diagnose failed jobs (insufficient credits) or as a pre-flight check before large imports/transcriptions.

  • check_basic_metadata

    Check the status of a get_basic_metadata job. Returns title, duration, and thumbnail once completed.

  • check_import

    Check the status of an import_media job. Returns the media download URL (and transcript, if requested) once the job completes.

  • check_metadata

    Check the status of a get_metadata job. Returns the full metadata object once completed.

  • check_transcription

    Check the status of a transcribe_media job. Returns the transcript text and timestamped segments once completed.

  • get_basic_metadata

    Fast-path metadata for a video/audio URL: title, duration, and thumbnail only. Cheaper and quicker than get_metadata — use this to identify or validate a media URL before importing or transcribing it. Async: poll check_basic_metadata with the returned jobId.

  • get_metadata

    Extract full metadata for a video/audio URL (title, description, duration, uploader, formats, thumbnails, view counts) without downloading the media. Works on YouTube, TikTok, X, and 1000+ sites — no yt-dlp to run yourself. Async: poll check_metadata with the returned jobId. For just title/duration/thumbnail, prefer the faster get_basic_metadata.

  • import_media

    Download the video/audio at any URL (YouTube, TikTok, X, and 1000+ sites) to hosted storage and get back a direct download link. Importly runs yt-dlp, rotating residential proxies, and ffmpeg server-side — no local tooling needed. Async: returns a jobId immediately; poll check_import for the result. Optionally also produce a transcript in the same job with includeTranscript.

  • transcribe_media

    Transcribe the audio of any video/audio URL (YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, and 1000+ sites) to text with timestamped segments. Importly handles the download, audio extraction, and speech-to-text server-side — no yt-dlp or ffmpeg needed. Async: returns a jobId immediately; poll check_transcription for the transcript. Costs scale with media length; set maxCostDollars to cap spend on long media.
