Extract the transcript of a TikTok video from its URL. You get full text, plus timestamped segments when they exist. Check has_transcript first. Recognizable speech, translation and perfect accuracy are not guaranteed.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to tiktok and action set to transcript. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra TikTok Transcript endpoint (tiktok/transcript).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to tiktok and action to transcript, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - url: Target TikTok video URL required for video, comments, and transcript actions. In comments, it retrieves post-level comments where each top-level comment includes at most two replies, without guaranteeing a complete conve…
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, text, segments, has_transcript.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "tiktok",
  "action": "transcript",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7488736374602927402"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`text`	Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
`segments`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`has_transcript`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
