}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | No | Optional. The provider's model name. Defaults: deepgram nova-3, assemblyai its own default, groq whisper-large-v3-turbo, openai whisper-1 (the only one accepted there). | |
| api_key | No | Your own key for the provider above. It is stored encrypted by Apify, sent only to that provider, and never written to a row or a log. With no key the run checks up to 3 files and transcribes nothing, for free. | |
| diarize | No | yes or no (default no). Labels who spoke each segment. deepgram and assemblyai only; your provider may bill it as an add on. | |
| language | No | Optional. A language code such as en or de. Empty lets deepgram and assemblyai detect it; whisper models detect it on their own. | |
| provider | No | Whose API transcribes the file, on your key: deepgram (default), assemblyai, groq, or openai. openai takes files up to 25 MB; the others read the URL. | |
| media_urls | No | Direct links to audio or video files (mp3, wav, m4a, mp4, and others) that answer without a login. Platform pages such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo, or Spotify are refused with a free row. In Clay, put the column inside a one item list. | |
| max_charge_usd | No | Optional. No new file starts once this is used up. A transcript your provider already billed is still delivered, charged up to this amount, and the run then stops. It limits this actor's charge, not your provider's bill. | |
| include_segments | No | yes (default) or no. Adds a list of segments with start and end seconds to each row. |
