The following is a simple python script that submits an audio file for transcription and retrieves the results. Replace the generic token and filename values with a valid authorization token and an audio file to transcribe. Additional transcription parameters can be defined as values of the data variable. The syntax for transcription parameters is 'parameter-name': 'parameter-value'. Refer to V‑Cloud Transcription Parameters for more information.

import requests

token = "yourTokenHere"
filename = "yourAudioHere"

response = requests.post(
    "https://vcloud.vocitec.com/transcribe",
    data={"token": token, "output": "text"},
    files=[("file", (filename, open(filename,"rb"), "audio/x-wav"))]
)
response.raise_for_status()
requestid = response.json()["requestid"]

response = None
while not response or response.status_code != 200:
    response = requests.get(
        f"https://vcloud.vocitec.com/transcribe/result/{requestid}",
        params={"token": token}
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    
print(response.text)

The following is a simple bash script that prompts to collect the information required for a transcription request. Once the information is provided, the script submits the specified audio file for transcription and prints the results to a file.

#!/bin/bash
    
if [ -z $1 ]
then
    echo "Please supply a valid authorization token for V-Cloud."
    exit 1
fi
TOKEN=$1

if [ -z $2 ]
then
    echo "Please supply the input name of WAV file."
    exit 1
fi
INPUT_FILE=$2

if [ -z $3 ]
then
    echo "Please supply the output name of your file."
    exit 1
fi
OUTPUT_FILE=$3

REQUEST_ID=`curl -s -F token=${TOKEN} -F "file=@${INPUT_FILE};type=audio/x-wav" https://vcloud.vocitec.com/transcribe`
REQUEST_ID=${REQUEST_ID#*:}
REQUEST_ID=${REQUEST_ID:1}
REQUEST_ID=${REQUEST_ID::-2}

RESULT=`curl -s "https://vcloud.vocitec.com/transcribe/result?token=${TOKEN}&requestid=${REQUEST_ID}"`
while [ "${RESULT}" == "No result currently available" ]
do
    sleep 1s
    RESULT=`curl -s "https://vcloud.vocitec.com/transcribe/result?token=${TOKEN}&requestid=${REQUEST_ID}"`
done

RESULT=${RESULT:1}
RESULT=${RESULT::-1}

curl -s "${RESULT}" > "${OUTPUT_FILE}"
