## Introduction

Utilisez `https://api.transcript1.com/v1` comme URL de base pour vos appels API.

- Les appels et les réponses utilisent un corps JSON, avec des champs en `snake_case`.
- Les dates suivent ISO 8601 en UTC : `2026-10-13T09:30:00.000Z`, par exemple.
- Les durées et les repères temporels des transcriptions sont en secondes.
- Le format des erreurs ne change pas d'un endpoint à l'autre. Consultez [Erreurs](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/api-reference#errors) pour sa structure.
- Après un appel authentifié, les en-têtes `X-RateLimit-Limit` et `X-RateLimit-Remaining` indiquent votre limite et les requêtes encore disponibles. La page [Facturation et limites](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/billing-and-limits) donne les plafonds par offre.
- Avec `source=auto`, nous cherchons d'abord des sous-titres exploitables dans la langue d'origine sur YouTube, X, TikTok, Bluesky, Dailymotion et LinkedIn. S'il n'y en a pas, nous transcrivons l'audio. Le mode `source=captions` (sous-titres uniquement) ne télécharge pas l'audio et ne lance jamais le STT : sans piste exploitable, il renvoie `no_captions`. Pour passer directement à l'audio, choisissez `source=stt` ou demandez l'identification des locuteurs. Consultez les [possibilités de chaque source](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/sources-and-options) pour les restrictions d'accès et la disponibilité des temps par segment ou par mot.

Pour vos outils, récupérez la spécification OpenAPI dans le format de votre choix :

- [JSON](https://api.transcript1.com/v1/openapi.json)
- [YAML](https://api.transcript1.com/v1/openapi.yaml)

## Authentification

Ajoutez votre clé API ou votre token OAuth à chaque appel avec l'en-tête `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.

- **Clé API.** Son préfixe est `t1_`. Créez votre clé dans [« API keys »](https://transcript1.com/dashboard/account/tokens) pour accéder à tous les endpoints.
- **Token d'accès OAuth.** Son préfixe est `t1o_`. Claude, ChatGPT et les autres clients MCP en reçoivent un lors de la connexion. Il porte les scopes `transcriptions:read` et `transcriptions:write`.

| Scope | Appels autorisés |
|---|---|
| `transcriptions:read` | `GET /v1/transcriptions`, `GET /v1/transcriptions/:id`, `GET /v1/transcriptions/:id/upload` et `GET /v1/account` |
| `transcriptions:write` | `POST /v1/transcriptions`, `DELETE /v1/transcriptions/:id` et `POST /v1/transcriptions/:id/upload/complete` |

- Si le token n'a pas le scope nécessaire, l'API répond `403 insufficient_scope`.
- Sans clé ou token valide, elle répond `401 unauthorized`.

Pour envoyer les blocs d'un fichier, utilisez plutôt `X-Upload-Token` sur `PUT /v1/transcriptions/:id/upload/chunks/:index`. Vous recevez ce token à la création de l'upload. La page [Importer des fichiers](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/uploads) décrit les étapes.

```bash
curl https://api.transcript1.com/v1/account \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY"
```

```javascript
import { Transcript1 } from '@transcript1/sdk';

const t1 = new Transcript1({ apiKey: process.env.TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY });
const account = await t1.account();
```

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.transcript1.com/v1/account",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY']}"},
)
print(response.json())
```

## Idempotence

Ajoutez `Idempotency-Key` à vos appels `POST /v1/transcriptions` pour pouvoir les renvoyer sans créer de doublon.

Choisissez une clé de 1 à 255 caractères et placez-la dans cet en-tête HTTP, jamais dans les paramètres de l'URL.

- Si vous renvoyez la même clé avec les mêmes paramètres, vous retrouvez la transcription d'origine sans consommer de nouvelles minutes.
- Si vous gardez la clé mais changez les paramètres, l'API répond `409 idempotency_conflict`.
- Pour un upload en blocs, renvoyer l'appel de création avec cette même clé génère un nouveau token d'upload.

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.transcript1.com/v1/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 5f1c2b0e-8d4a-4c3e-9b7a-2e6f1d0c9a8b" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"}'
```

```javascript
import { Transcript1 } from '@transcript1/sdk';

const t1 = new Transcript1();
const transcription = await t1.transcriptions.create('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ', {
  idempotencyKey: '5f1c2b0e-8d4a-4c3e-9b7a-2e6f1d0c9a8b',
});
```

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.transcript1.com/v1/transcriptions",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRANSCRIPT1_API_KEY']}", "Idempotency-Key": "5f1c2b0e-8d4a-4c3e-9b7a-2e6f1d0c9a8b"},
    json={"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"},
)
print(response.json())
```

## Erreurs

- Si l'API refuse votre appel, vous recevez une erreur de requête.
- Si elle accepte la transcription mais que le traitement échoue ensuite, la transcription passe au `status` `failed`.

### Lire une réponse d'erreur

Quand l'API refuse un appel `/v1`, la réponse contient un objet `error`. Vous y trouverez `code`, `message` et `retryable`.

- Dans votre code, choisissez l'action à effectuer à partir de `code`.
- Pour expliquer le problème à l'utilisateur, affichez `message`. Ne vous basez pas sur son texte pour votre logique : la formulation peut évoluer.
- Si `retryable` vaut `true`, vous pouvez retenter le même appel plus tard.

Selon l'erreur, d'autres champs complètent cet objet au même niveau que `retryable` :

| Champ | Code concerné | Informations fournies |
|---|---|---|
| `action_url` | `insufficient_minutes` | Lien pour souscrire une offre ou acheter une recharge. |
| `minutes_needed`, `minutes_remaining` | `insufficient_minutes` | Minutes nécessaires pour cet appel (`null` si ce nombre n'est pas encore connu) et solde disponible. |
| `supported_platforms` | `unsupported_platform` | Liste des plateformes acceptées : `["youtube", "x", "tiktok", "instagram", "facebook", "bluesky", "twitch", "dailymotion", "pinterest", "linkedin", "snapchat"]`. |
| `missing_chunks` | `upload_incomplete` | Index des blocs à envoyer de nouveau. |
| `max_bytes` | `media_too_large` | Taille maximale des fichiers pour votre compte, en octets. |
| `params` | `invalid_request` | Pour les erreurs de validation du corps ou des paramètres d'URL, détail du problème pour chaque champ concerné. |

### Quand l'API refuse un appel

| Statut HTTP | `code` | Peut réussir sans correction ? | Cause et action à effectuer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400, 422 | `invalid_request` | Non | Il manque un paramètre ou un champ, ou sa valeur n'est pas valide. Vérifiez notamment les combinaisons interdites : `diarize` avec `source: "captions"`, ou `reuse_recent` avec `webhook_url`. Ce code signale aussi un corps JSON invalide. |
| 422 | `invalid_url` | Non | Le lien doit venir de YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky ou d'une autre plateforme de la liste [Sources et options](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/sources-and-options). Si vous indiquez `platform`, sa valeur doit correspondre au lien. |
| 422 | `unsupported_platform` | Non | La valeur de `platform` ne correspond à aucune plateforme acceptée. |
| 422 | `unsupported_media` | Non | L'extension du fichier importé n'est pas acceptée. |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Non | La clé ou le token manque, n'est pas valide, a expiré ou a été révoqué. Pour un token d'upload, il est invalide ou expiré. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | Non | Le token OAuth n'a pas le scope `transcriptions:read` ou `transcriptions:write` nécessaire à cet appel. |
| 403 | `email_not_verified` | Non | Confirmez votre adresse e-mail pour pouvoir lancer une transcription. |
| 402 | `insufficient_minutes` | Non | Votre solde utilisable est à 0 ou ne couvre pas la durée de la transcription. |
| 402 | `no_active_plan` | Non | Vous essayez d'acheter une recharge sans offre payante active. Ce code vient de l'endpoint de facturation du tableau de bord, jamais des endpoints de transcription. |
| 404 | `not_found` | Non | Aucune transcription ne correspond, ou elle appartient à une autre équipe. |
| 409 | `upload_incomplete` | Non | Certains blocs ne sont pas arrivés. Envoyez les blocs manquants, puis relancez la finalisation de l'upload. |
| 409 | `invalid_state` | Non | Le statut de la transcription n'autorise pas l'upload. Vous ne pouvez donc ni envoyer de blocs ni finaliser l'upload. |
| 409 | `idempotency_conflict` | Non | Vous avez déjà utilisé cette `Idempotency-Key` avec d'autres paramètres. |
| 413 | `media_too_large` | Non | Le fichier dépasse la taille autorisée. Consultez [Importer des fichiers](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/uploads). |
| 413 | `invalid_request` | Non | Le corps JSON dépasse 1 Mo. Pour un fichier trop volumineux, le code est `media_too_large`. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Oui | Vous avez dépassé le nombre d'appels par minute. Attendez le délai en secondes donné par `Retry-After`. |
| 429 | `too_many_active_jobs` | Oui | Trop de transcriptions tournent en parallèle ou trop d'uploads restent ouverts. Attendez le délai en secondes donné par `Retry-After`. |
| 500 | `internal_error` | Oui | Notre serveur a rencontré une erreur. Réessayez dans un instant. |
| 503 | `service_unavailable` | Oui | transcript1 est temporairement indisponible. Réessayez dans un instant. |

Pour les appels du navigateur authentifiés par un cookie de connexion, nous vérifions aussi l'origine. Si l'appel vient d'un autre site, vous recevez `403 forbidden_origin`.

Ce contrôle ne concerne pas les appels qui utilisent un en-tête `Authorization`.

Toutes les réponses `429` incluent `Retry-After`, en secondes. Les plafonds de chaque offre figurent dans [Facturation et limites](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/billing-and-limits).

### Gérer les nouvelles tentatives

- Relancez automatiquement un appel seulement si `retryable` vaut `true`. C'est le cas pour `rate_limited`, `too_many_active_jobs`, `internal_error` et `service_unavailable`.
- Si la réponse fournit `Retry-After`, respectez ce délai. Sinon, augmentez progressivement l'attente entre les appels.
- Gardez la même valeur d'`Idempotency-Key` quand vous renvoyez `POST /v1/transcriptions`. Vous évitez ainsi de payer deux fois si le premier appel a abouti.
- Avec les autres codes, corrigez d'abord la cause de l'erreur.

### Quand le traitement échoue après acceptation

Si la transcription passe au statut `failed`, consultez son objet `error` : il contient `code` et `message`.

L'appel de création peut avoir réussi avant que le traitement échoue. Vérifiez donc `error` lors de vos appels de suivi ou à la réception du [webhook](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/api-reference#webhooks) `transcription.failed`.

| `error.code` | Cause | Que faire ? |
|---|---|---|
| `media_unavailable` | La vidéo est introuvable ou n'est plus accessible. | Ne relancez pas le même lien sans vérifier l'URL. |
| `media_private` | L'accès à la vidéo est privé. | Utilisez un post public, ou une vidéo YouTube publique ou non répertoriée. Relancer le même lien ne changera rien. |
| `login_required` | Il faut se connecter à la plateforme pour accéder à la vidéo. | Ne réessayez pas : cet échec est définitif et ne déclenche aucune nouvelle tentative. |
| `no_audio` | Aucune piste audio n'est présente dans la vidéo. | Ne réessayez pas : cet échec est définitif et ne déclenche aucune nouvelle tentative. |
| `age_restricted` | La plateforme limite la vidéo selon l'âge. | Ne relancez pas le lien ; importez plutôt le fichier. |
| `live_stream` | Le direct est encore en cours ou n'a pas commencé. | Attendez la fin du direct avant de réessayer. |
| `no_captions` | Vous avez choisi `source` avec la valeur `captions`, mais aucune piste de sous-titres n'est exploitable. | Choisissez `source: "auto"` ou `"stt"`. |
| `media_too_long` | L'enregistrement dépasse les 5 heures acceptées pour le speech-to-text. | Découpez-le avant de l'envoyer de nouveau. |
| `unsupported_media` | Le fichier est illisible ou ne contient pas de piste audio. | Envoyez un fichier dans un format accepté plutôt que de relancer le même. |
| `no_speech` | Aucune parole détectée. | Inutile de relancer ce traitement. |
| `unsupported_language` | Nous ne prenons pas en charge la langue de l'enregistrement. | Corrigez `language` avec un code accepté ou `"auto"` avant de réessayer. |
| `insufficient_minutes` | Le solde ne suffisait plus au moment de facturer la transcription. | Achetez une recharge, puis réessayez. |
| `fetch_failed` | Le téléchargement a échoué malgré plusieurs tentatives. | Réessayez plus tard. |
| `transcription_failed` | Le speech-to-text a échoué malgré plusieurs tentatives. | Réessayez plus tard. |

Si le traitement échoue ou si vous l'annulez, vous ne payez rien. Nous recréditons les minutes déjà prélevées.

## Transcriptions

Create, read, list and delete transcriptions of video links and uploaded files.

### Create a transcription

`POST /v1/transcriptions`

Transcribes an uploaded file or a YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Twitch, Dailymotion, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat link. Social posts must be public; only the first video is used.

Twitch accepts clips and completed VODs; Pinterest accepts native video pins; LinkedIn accepts public video posts; Snapchat accepts Spotlight. New platforms require public recorded native media without supplied account cookies; no live streams or external embeds.

`platform` is optional and detected from the link. Captions are YouTube/X-only. All sources use the same per-minute price.

Returns `200` for a final result, `201` when awaiting an upload and `202` while processing. Pass `wait` to wait up to 60 seconds for a final status.

Pass `reuse_recent=true` with a platform URL to reuse a transcription of the same video and options from the last 24 hours. The response includes `reused: true`, with no additional charge. Short links may not be matched. An `Idempotency-Key` replay takes precedence.

#### Query

- `wait` (integer, optional, nullable, default 0): Seconds to wait for a final status before responding, up to 60. Defaults to 0.
- `reuse_recent` (string, optional, default false, one of `true`, `false`): For platform URLs only. Cannot be combined with `webhook_url`. Returns the team's most recent transcription of the same video with the same `source`, `language` and `diarize`. It must have been created in the last 24 hours and must not be `failed` or `canceled`. Reuses that transcription without creating or charging for a new one.

#### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional): Returns the original transcription when you repeat a request with the same key and parameters.

#### Body

- With `url`
  - `platform` (string, optional, one of `youtube`, `x`, `tiktok`, `instagram`, `facebook`, `bluesky`, `twitch`, `dailymotion`, `pinterest`, `linkedin`, `snapchat`): Optional; detected from the link. If supplied, must match the link.
  - `url` (string, required): YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Twitch, Dailymotion, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat video link. Social posts must be public; only the first video is used. New platforms support public recorded native video without supplied account cookies, not live streams or external embeds.
  - `source` (string, optional, one of `auto`, `captions`, `stt`): "auto" uses YouTube or X captions when available, otherwise speech-to-text. "captions" is YouTube/X-only. "stt" always uses speech-to-text.
  - `language` (string, optional)
  - `diarize` (boolean, optional)
  - `webhook_url` (string, uri, optional)
- With `upload`
  - `upload` (object, required)
    - `filename` (string, required)
    - `size` (integer, required)
    - `mime_type` (string, optional)
  - `source` (string, optional, one of `auto`, `stt`)
  - `language` (string, optional)
  - `diarize` (boolean, optional)
  - `webhook_url` (string, uri, optional)
- multipart/form-data
  - `file` (string, binary, required)
  - `source` (string, optional, one of `auto`, `stt`)
  - `language` (string, optional)
  - `diarize` (boolean, optional)
  - `webhook_url` (string, uri, optional)

#### Returns

- 200 OK: The transcription reached a final status
- 201 Created: The transcription is awaiting a chunked upload. `upload` describes where to send each chunk.
- 202 Accepted: The transcription is processing
- 400 Bad Request: The JSON request body is malformed
- 401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid credential
- 402 Payment Required: Not enough minutes. Applies to every request body format.
- 403 Forbidden: Insufficient scope, unverified email, cross-site request or a single-member team plan
- 409 Conflict: `Idempotency-Key` was reused with different parameters.
- 413 Content Too Large: The upload or the JSON request body is too large
- 422 Unprocessable Content: Invalid request, URL, platform or file type
- 429 Too Many Requests: Too many requests or too many active transcriptions. Wait for the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.

### Get a transcription

`GET /v1/transcriptions/{id}`

Returns the transcription object. Completed transcriptions include the transcript. Use `format` to render it as text, SRT or WebVTT.

If you request a rendered format before completion, the response is JSON. It returns `202` while processing or `200` if the transcription failed or was canceled.

With `include_deleted=true`, a deleted transcription is returned as a record without a transcript. For deleted records, `wait` is ignored and rendered formats return `404`.

#### Path

- `id` (string, required)

#### Query

- `wait` (integer, optional, nullable, default 0): Seconds to wait for a final status before responding, up to 60. Defaults to 0.
- `format` (string, optional, default json, one of `json`, `text`, `srt`, `vtt`)
- `include` (string, optional, one of `words`)
- `timestamps` (string, optional, default false, one of `true`, `false`)
- `include_deleted` (string, optional, default false, one of `true`, `false`): Also returns deleted transcriptions as read-only records without a transcript. Their `deleted_at` is set. Defaults to `false`.

#### Returns

- 200 OK: The transcription, or the rendered transcript
- 202 Accepted: A rendered format was requested while the transcription is still processing
- 401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid credential
- 403 Forbidden: Insufficient scope or a single-member team plan
- 404 Not Found: Transcription not found
- 422 Unprocessable Content: Invalid query parameters
- 429 Too Many Requests: Too many requests. Wait for the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.

## Uploads

Send a large file in chunks. Start with Create a transcription using an `upload` body. Send each chunk, then complete the upload.

### Upload one chunk

`PUT /v1/transcriptions/{id}/upload/chunks/{index}`

Sends one chunk of a chunked upload as `application/octet-stream`.

Authenticate with the `X-Upload-Token` from the create response. This endpoint does not use a bearer credential.

The body must match the planned chunk size exactly. Sending a chunk again replaces it.

#### Path

- `id` (string, required)
- `index` (integer, optional, nullable): Zero-based chunk number from the upload plan

#### Headers

- `X-Upload-Token` (string, required)

#### Body

- `(raw body)` (string, binary, required)

#### Returns

- 200 OK: The chunk was stored
- 401 Unauthorized: Missing, invalid or expired upload token
- 404 Not Found: Transcription not found
- 409 Conflict: The transcription is no longer awaiting an upload
- 422 Unprocessable Content: Index outside the chunk plan or wrong body size

```bash
curl -X PUT https://api.transcript1.com/v1/transcriptions/tr_4fHq8ZbN2xLm0PqRsTuVwX/upload/chunks/0 \

### Get upload progress

`GET /v1/transcriptions/{id}/upload`

Lists the received chunks of a chunked upload so an interrupted upload can resume.

#### Path

- `id` (string, required)

#### Returns

- 200 OK: Upload progress
- 401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid credential
- 403 Forbidden: Insufficient scope or a single-member team plan
- 404 Not Found: Transcription or upload not found
- 429 Too Many Requests: Too many requests. Wait for the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.

### Complete a chunked upload

`POST /v1/transcriptions/{id}/upload/complete`

Checks that every planned chunk arrived with the planned size. Then assembles the file and queues the transcription.

#### Path

- `id` (string, required)

#### Returns

- 202 Accepted: The transcription is queued
- 401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid credential
- 402 Payment Required: Not enough minutes to queue the transcription. The upload stays awaiting completion.
- 403 Forbidden: Insufficient scope, cross-site request or a single-member team plan
- 404 Not Found: Transcription or upload not found
- 409 Conflict: `upload_incomplete` means chunks are missing. `missing_chunks` lists them. `invalid_state` means the transcription is not awaiting an upload.
- 429 Too Many Requests: Too many requests or too many active transcriptions. Wait for the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.

## Webhooks

Pour recevoir une notification en fin de traitement, fournissez `webhook_url` à la création de la transcription. Nous envoyons un `POST` signé à cette adresse si le traitement aboutit ou échoue.

Cette option est réservée à l'API REST : le [serveur MCP](https://transcript1.com/fr/docs/mcp) ne propose pas de paramètre webhook.

### Choisir l'adresse de réception

Sur `POST /v1/transcriptions`, placez `webhook_url` à l'endroit adapté à votre source :

- Dans le corps JSON pour un lien vidéo compatible ou pour réserver un upload en blocs.
- Dans un champ de formulaire pour un fichier envoyé en une seule requête.

Votre URL doit respecter ces conditions :

- utiliser HTTPS ;
- ne contenir ni nom d'utilisateur ni mot de passe ;
- se résoudre vers une adresse IP publique.

Une adresse privée, loopback, link-local ou toute autre adresse non publique provoque `422 invalid_request`. Nous contrôlons l'adresse à la création de la transcription, puis avant chaque envoi.

N'utilisez pas `webhook_url` avec `reuse_recent=true` : ces options sont incompatibles.

### Événements

| `type` | Déclenchement |
|---|---|
| `transcription.completed` | Le statut passe à `completed`. |
| `transcription.failed` | Le statut passe à `failed`. Lisez le `code` et le `message` dans `data.error`. |

Si vous annulez la transcription, nous n'envoyons pas de webhook.

### Lire la notification

Vous recevez un corps JSON :

- `created_at` indique quand nous avons créé l'événement.
- `data` contient l'objet de transcription, sans le champ `transcript`.

Le texte se récupère séparément : prenez l'`id` dans `data`, puis appelez `GET /v1/transcriptions/:id`.

L'appel comporte aussi les en-têtes suivants :

- `Content-Type: application/json`
- `User-Agent: transcript1-webhooks/1.0`
- `X-Transcript1-Signature`, à vérifier comme indiqué ci-dessous.

### Vérifier la signature

Pour chaque envoi, vous recevez `X-Transcript1-Signature` sous la forme `t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex digest>`.

- `t` donne le timestamp Unix de la signature, en secondes.
- Pour calculer `v1`, appliquez HMAC-SHA256 à `"<t>.<raw body>"`, puis encodez le condensat en hexadécimal. Assemblez la valeur de `t`, un point et le corps reçu sans aucune modification. La clé HMAC est votre secret de signature complet, y compris son préfixe `whsec_`.

Vérifiez la signature sur les octets du corps brut, avant de parser le JSON. Parser puis sérialiser de nouveau peut changer les espaces ou l'ordre des clés : la signature ne correspondrait plus.

- Utilisez une comparaison en temps constant pour les signatures.
- Refusez l'appel si `t` est trop éloigné de l'heure actuelle. Nos exemples acceptent un écart de 5 minutes.
- Avec Express, récupérez le corps en texte brut avant tout parsing.
- Avec Flask, fournissez `request.get_data(as_text=True)` au paramètre `raw_body`.

### Gérer le secret de signature

Votre équipe possède un secret préfixé par `whsec_`. Nous l'utilisons pour signer les webhooks de toutes ses transcriptions.

Vous pouvez afficher ce secret ou le renouveler depuis [« Webhooks »](https://transcript1.com/dashboard/webhooks).

Le remplacement prend effet immédiatement. Dès lors, chaque webhook est signé avec le nouveau secret.

### Réception et nouvelles tentatives

- Répondez avec un statut `2xx` pour confirmer la réception.
- Nous considérons l'envoi comme un échec pour tout autre statut, en cas d'erreur de connexion ou sans réponse sous 10 secondes.
- Après un échec, nous réessayons jusqu'à atteindre 6 tentatives au total. Les délais augmentent de façon exponentielle : 2, 4, 8, 16 puis 32 minutes. La dernière tentative intervient environ une heure après la première.
- Fournissez l'URL finale : transcript1 ne suit pas les redirections. Un statut `3xx` compte donc comme un échec d'envoi.
- Prévoyez de recevoir plusieurs fois la même notification, notamment si votre serveur répond après le délai maximal. Dédupliquez-la à partir de `data.id` et de `type`.

```javascript
import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
import crypto from 'node:crypto';

// header: X-Transcript1-Signature, rawBody: the request body exactly as received,
// secret: your full signing secret including the whsec_ prefix.
export const verifySignature = (secret, header, rawBody, nowSeconds = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)) => {
  const fields = Object.fromEntries(header.split(',').map(part => part.trim().split('=')));
  const t = Number(fields.t);

  if (!Number.isInteger(t) || !fields.v1 || Math.abs(nowSeconds - t) > 300) {
    return false;
  }

  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(`${t}.${rawBody}`).digest('hex');

  return fields.v1.length === expected.length
    && crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(fields.v1), Buffer.from(expected));
};
```

```python
import hashlib
import hmac
import time


def verify_signature(secret, header, raw_body, now=None):
    # header: the X-Transcript1-Signature header, raw_body: the request body exactly as received,
    # secret: your full signing secret including the whsec_ prefix.
    fields = dict(part.strip().split("=", 1) for part in header.split(",") if "=" in part)
    try:
        t = int(fields["t"])
    except (KeyError, ValueError):
        return False

    now = int(time.time()) if now is None else now
    if abs(now - t) > 300:
        return False

    expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), f"{t}.{raw_body}".encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    return hmac.compare_digest(fields.get("v1", ""), expected)
```
