Loom API

Read a public Loom video's details and AI transcript as JSON from its share link.

The API.SH Loom API turns a public Loom share link into structured JSON. For one video you get the title, description, chapters, duration, size, creation date, privacy, views, comment count and owner. It also returns the AI transcript with start times and as plain text, the caption file link, thumbnails and the call-to-action. A download link is included only when the owner allowed downloads.

API.SH vs the official Loom API

Loom's developer platform is aimed at embedding: its SDKs add recording and playback to your own app, and Atlassian's support pages say Loom has no open API. API.SH reads a public Loom share link and returns its details and transcript, with no login and no SDK.

Skip writing your own Loom scraper or paying for single-purpose video downloader actors on Apify: API.SH gives you one key, one JSON shape and a fixed price per 1,000 calls.

Loom API questions

What Loom data can I get?+

One public video from its share link (/loom/v1/video): title, description, chapters, duration, size, creation date, privacy, views, comment count, owner, thumbnails, call-to-action, the AI transcript with start times, plain-text transcript and the caption file link.

How much does the Loom API cost?+

Every Loom endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /loom/v1/video at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Loom API?+

Loom offers SDKs for recording and embedding videos in other apps, and Atlassian support says there is no open API. API.SH is different: it reads public share links and returns the video details and transcript as JSON.

Do I need a Loom account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Loom pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account. Password-protected and private videos answer 403, and are not returned.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /loom/v1/video with the url of a public Loom share link. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.

Can I get a Loom transcript with the API?+

Yes. /loom/v1/video returns the AI transcript with start times and as plain text, plus the caption file link. Use the transcript parameter to turn it on or off if you only need the video details.

Can I download Loom videos?+

The response includes download_url only when the owner allowed downloads. Otherwise you still get the details, transcript and thumbnails. Follow Loom's terms and the owner's rights when you reuse a video.
