API Design

The API is split into multiple endpoints that support different types of content:

• Editorial API
  • e.g., news articles, blog posts
• Transcript API
  • e.g., call transcripts, customer support threads, meeting recording transcripts, podcast transcripts
• Transcript+ API (coming soon)
  • For longer transcripts, receive a highly formatted output
• Multi-document (coming soon)
  • e.g., collect all reviews written about a product and synthesize these reviews into clusters of positives and negatives about the product

Rate Limits

The Summari API has a rate limit of 10 requests per second. If you need a higher rate limit, please contact us at [email protected]

Editorial API

There are 2 types of summaries that you can receive using the Editorial API.

Short Summary

• A 3-5 bullet point summary (~120 words).
• This format is perfect for previewing content and giving users just enough information to pique their interest.

Detailed summary

• A list of bullet points that captures the content's important details.
• This format is a more comprehensive summary that targets 10-20% of the length of the original text.

Transcript API

This endpoint provides a summary of the dialogue’s key ideas. It is fine-tuned to synthesize important information from sales calls, customer support threads, meetings, videos, and podcasts.‍

Transcript+ API

This endpoint provides a summary of the dialogue’s key ideas. It is fine-tuned to synthesize important information from sales calls, customer support threads, meetings, videos, and podcasts.‍ You should expect a much higher quality output to the regular Transcripts API and a more useful formatted response.

The Transcripts endpoint is tuned to provide a useful summary regardless of length:‍

• For transcripts under 5,000 words, capture the key takeaways with a list of bullet points.
• For transcripts over 5,000 words, in addition to the comprehensive bullets, the Transcripts API creates a short (~3 bullet) preview and a one-line introduction to provide additional context.

Multi-document API

This endpoint summarizes a group of documents into its common themes. This is useful for understanding trends across documents, and the magnitude of those trends.

For example, a set of product reviews can be inputted into the endpoint and a set of the most important themes will be output.
