# Read transcript

> A composition's transcript, playback media and review notes. The editor's own read. `sources[].words` is the editor document: each word with its source-time span, its state and, when the composition plays it, its output-time span. Play `sources[].playUrl` against source time, or `render.url` against output time when `render.current` is true. Redacted words arrive masked. Paged by words: follow `wordsNextCursor` and merge pages by `assetId`; a cursor from before the composition changed answers 409 `conflict` (`details.reason`: `stale_cursor`), so read again from the first page. Pass the composition's `headRevisionId` back as `baseRevisionId` when editing. Free.

    The priced, versioned public API. Every call authenticates with a workspace
    API key (`Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…`), names the project it files its

    this deployment can serve right now and at what price; anything it reports
    as unavailable answers 503 `capability_unavailable` rather than 404.
