Setup your account

​
Signing Up

You will first need to create your account. Sign-up to app.gladia.io. You can sign-up through Google and more sign-up methods will be available in the near feature.

​
Get your API key

Now that you signed up, login to app.gladia.io and go to the Account section. We should have already created a default key for you. You can use this one or create your own.
Gladia offers 10 Hours of free audio transcription per month if you want to test the service!
With your API key, you’re now ready to use Gladia APIs.

​
Authenticate your API calls

Once you got your API key, pass it in the header x-gladia-key, like this: 
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.gladia.io/v2/transcription \
  --header 'x-gladia-key: YOUR_GLADIA_API_KEY'
The header authentication method ensure that you are able to use Gladia in any environment or any cloud-based third party service. This is the only authentication method you’ll need to use all the API endpoints. Next, we’ll see what’s the general pre-recorded flow and how to manage it on your side.
