Transcription webhooks and callbacks: get notified when a transcript is ready
Blog post from AssemblyAI
The guide discusses the transition from polling to using webhooks for receiving notifications when transcriptions are completed using AssemblyAI. It highlights the inefficiency of polling, which involves repeatedly sending GET requests to check the status of transcription jobs, and contrasts this with webhooks that provide instant notifications without unnecessary requests. The guide provides detailed instructions on setting up webhooks, including configuring the webhook_url, verifying requests, handling retries, and securing the endpoint with custom authentication headers and IP allow-listing. It also emphasizes the importance of responding quickly to webhook notifications and fetching the actual transcript data with a subsequent GET request. Additionally, the guide explains how to attach metadata to webhooks via query parameters and offers advice on testing webhooks locally using tunneling tools. The overall message encourages the adoption of webhooks for production-grade applications that require efficient and reliable transcription processing.
