# Get subtitles for transcript

`GET /v2/transcript/{transcript_id}/{subtitle_format}`

<Note>To retrieve your transcriptions on our EU server, replace `api.assemblyai.com` with `api.eu.assemblyai.com`.</Note>
Export your transcript in SRT or VTT format to use with a video player for subtitles and closed captions.

## Path parameters

- `transcript_id` string, required
- `subtitle_format` 'srt' | 'vtt', required — Format of the subtitles

## Query parameters

- `chars_per_caption` integer

## Response `200`

The exported captions as text

## Other responses

- `400` — Bad request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `404` — Returned when `subtitle_format` is not `srt` or `vtt`. The response body is a plain HTML 404 page — the literal string `404: Not Found` — not JSON. Unknown `transcript_id` lookups, by contrast, return a `400` with a JSON `Error` object.
- `429` — Too many requests
- `500` — An error occurred while processing the request
- `503` — Service unavailable
- `504` — Gateway timeout
