# Transcripts

If transcription was enabled in the session, you can retrieve a list of all transcripts through the **sessions/:id/transcripts** endpoint. This endpoint will return a standard JSON array as a response.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to receive an export as a txt or json file, then use the **/export** subendpoint: **sessions/:id/transcripts/export.**  Default is txt file.\
\
There is a **format** param with allowed values **txt** and **json**. \
**sessions/:id/transcripts/export?format=txt**\
**sessions/:id/transcripts/export?format=json**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Since potentially there could be thousands of transcripts, pagination is supported with **limit** and **offset arguments.** Read about [pagination](/reference/rest-api/pagination.md) to learn the details of it. By default maximum 100 transcripts will be returned in the response.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **total\_count** is the total amount of transcripts in the session. It is **NOT** the amount of transcripts in the current page returned in the **data** array. In the above example you have 8096 transcripts in total, but in the data array there will be maximum 100 transcripts (the default **limit** argument value). You can use the **offset** param to page through all transcripts.
