Three ways in
API keyCoding agents, scripts, automations, ApifyOne header, X-API-Key. Submit a link or file, poll, fetch.
Connector (MCP)Claude, Claude Code and other MCP clientsAdd whipscribe.com/mcp, sign in, no key to handle.
BrowserBrowser agents such as ChatGPT agentUse whipscribe.com like a person: upload or paste, read the free summary, open a pack link.
What an agent can do
- Read the contract: whipscribe.com/agents/instructions.md, whipscribe.com/openapi.json, whipscribe.com/docs and whipscribe.com/llms.txt.
- Transcribe a link or file in a browser and read the free preview and summary with no account (the site asks for an email address to send it to).
- Open checkout with the right pack already selected, and fill in everything except the payment.
- Sign in to an existing account with email and password.
- Create, name, rotate and revoke API keys in the signed-in workspace.
- Submit links and files, poll jobs, download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, and read the summary.
- Check the balance (GET /v1/credits), notice a locked transcript, and send the person the top-up link.
What needs a person
- Creating the account: sign-in is Google, or an email address plus a 6-digit code sent to that inbox. An agent with no access to the inbox has to ask the person for the code.
- Paying: the checkout asks for a card or PayPal. The person enters those details or approves the payment; an agent should hand this step over, not type card numbers.
- Keeping the key: an API key is shown once, when it is created. Whoever creates it stores it; nobody can look it up later.
