# Retrieve a session transcript

> Return ordered conversation turns for one session.

Requires `transcripts:read`.

Entries are ordered by `sequenceNumber`. A successful request consumes one of
the organization's 2,000 daily transcript reads. Invalid ids and `404` responses
do not consume quota.

<Warning>
  Transcript text can contain prospect PII. Prefer derived session fields unless
  the integration needs the original conversation.
</Warning>

info:
  title: Hobbes API
  description: >

    Use the Hobbes API to read your organization's analyzed demo sessions,

    prospects, accounts, transcripts, and funnel metrics, and to create and
    manage

    personalized Custom Links.


    **Authentication**: create an API key in Settings → API Keys, then send it

    as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` (or `x-api-key: <key>`). Keys are

    org-scoped; responses only ever contain your organization's data.


    **Scopes**: keys carry scopes (`sessions:read`, `people:read`,

    `accounts:read`, `analytics:read`, `transcripts:read`, `custom_links:read`,

    `custom_links:write`). `custom_links:write` also satisfies read access. Raw

    transcript access is a separate opt-in scope with a daily quota. Existing
    API

    keys do not receive Custom Link scopes automatically.


    **Rate limits**: keys allow 120 requests per minute by default. Responses

    include `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining`; 429 responses
    include

    `Retry-After`. Transcript access has a separate quota of 2,000 reads per

    organization per UTC day. Custom Link mutations are limited to 10 requests
    per

    minute per organization. Creation and thumbnail rendering also use weighted

    hourly and daily organization quotas, so one request containing 500 links is

    one HTTP request but consumes up to 500 creation and 500 render units.


    **Support**: every response carries an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it
    when

    reporting an issue so we can find the exact request in our logs.


    **Stability**: changes within v1 are additive only. Fields may be added to

    responses; existing fields are never removed or renamed.
