# Delete a transcription



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json delete /api/v1/transcriptions/{id}
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Vook API
  description: >-
    Public transcription API. Authenticate every request with your API key:
    `Authorization: Bearer vk_live_…`.


    ## Transcribe a file (3 calls)


    1. **`POST /api/v1/uploads/init`** → returns an `upload_url`, an
    `upload_token` and the token's `expires_at`.

    2. **`POST {upload_url}`**: POST the whole file to the `upload_url` returned
    by call 1 (**a different host from this API**) as `multipart/form-data` with
    a single `chunk` field, authenticated with `Authorization: Bearer
    {upload_token}`. The file is sent as a single chunk; no chunk index/count is
    needed. This step is on the ingress service and is not listed below.

    3. **`POST /api/v1/transcription-jobs`**: pass the `upload_token` +
    `file_name` + `language` + `diarize`. Returns a job `id`.


    Then **poll `GET /api/v1/transcription-jobs/{id}`** until `status` is
    `completed` (or `failed`). Read the `transcription_id` through **`GET
    /api/v1/transcriptions/{id}`** and its `/transcript` / `/export`
    sub-resources.
