Home/Learn/Caption QA API for CI/CD

Last updated May 24, 2026 (UTC)

Caption QA API for CI/CD pipelines

Run CaptionPass in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or any script that can POST multipart form data. Sign in for Free+, create an API key, and call POST /api/v1/process — the same engine as the homepage tool, without browser integrity tokens.

Quick curl example

curl -sS -X POST "https://www.captionpass.com/api/v1/process" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cp_live_..." \
  -F "file=@captions.srt" \
  -F "preset=youtube"

Run your file through CaptionPass — free caption converter with a full QA report.

Full reference: HTTP API (v1) docs.

Typical CI steps

  1. Store CAPTIONPASS_API_KEY as a CI secret.
  2. On pull request or release, POST each deliverable SRT/VTT with the client's preset.
  3. Assert HTTP 200 and inspect diagnostics for blocking issues.
  4. Optionally archive the repaired file and report JSON as build artifacts.

Quotas

Free+ shares one daily pool across homepage and v1 API successes. Pro raises v1 limits. See pricing & entitlements.

Running a class or capstone? See the educators program for pilot access and support.
