# Getting Started

> Prerequisite and how to get help

The TranscribeTube API lets you transcribe YouTube videos programmatically. Submit a video, get a `projectId`, and either receive a [webhook callback](/api-documentation/webhooks) or [poll for the result](/api-documentation/lifecycle).

## Prerequisite

The API is available on any paid plan. See current plans and pricing at [app.transcribetube.com/subscription](https://app.transcribetube.com/subscription). Once you've subscribed, follow [Get your API key](/api-documentation/authentication) to start testing.
