Get episode timestamps

GET
/episodes/{episode_id}/timestamps

Returns timing data for the episode's generated audio, derived from the episode timeline. Useful for synced transcripts, karaoke-style word highlighting, speaker-attributed transcripts, or subtitle tracks on a video player.

Available as soon as audio has been generated — the episode does not need to be published.

Three output formats are supported via the format query param:

  • json (default): structured timings, shape depends on granularity
  • srt: SubRip subtitle file (application/x-subrip)
  • vtt: WebVTT subtitle file (text/vtt), with <v Speaker> voice tags when speaker attribution is available

Speaker attribution

Because Jellypod generates audio with specified hosts, speaker attribution is deterministic — unlike diarization APIs there is no confidence score. Each audio item on the timeline corresponds to exactly one host (one contiguous utterance).

JSON responses include a top-level speakers array; individual words or segments reference speakers by integer index. Each entry exposes the host's host_id (matching GET /hosts/{host_id}) and display name. If an audio item had no speaker metadata the reference will be null.

Returns 404 with not_found if the episode has no timestamps yet (audio has not been generated).

Query Parameters

format?string

Output format. Defaults to json.

Default"json"
Value in"json" | "srt" | "vtt"
granularity?string

Granularity of timings in the JSON response. Ignored when format is srt or vtt. Defaults to word.

  • word: flat list of words with timings and a speaker index.
  • segment: utterances grouped by speaker, with nested words. Closest to utterances-style output from speech-to-text APIs.
Default"word"
Value in"word" | "segment"
