--- title: "Get an 'edit-captions' job" method: GET path: "/robots/v0/jobs/edit-captions/{JOB_ID}" tags: ["Edit Captions (v0)"] deprecated: true --- # Get an 'edit-captions' job `GET /robots/v0/jobs/edit-captions/{JOB_ID}` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.mux.com` - URL: `https://api.mux.com/robots/v0/jobs/edit-captions/{JOB_ID}` - Auth: one of: - HTTP basic - HTTP bearer > **Deprecated.** Deprecated: use `GET /robots/v1/jobs/edit-captions/{job_id}` instead. Retrieves the current status and results of an 'edit-captions' job. Jobs are automatically deleted after 30 days. ## Path parameters - `JOB_ID` string, required: Robots job ID returned by job creation or listing (rjob_...). ## Response `200` Current status for the requested job - EditCaptionsJobResponseV0 - `data` EditCaptionsJobV0, required - `id` string, required: Unique job identifier. - `passthrough` string: Arbitrary string supplied at creation, returned as-is. - `units_consumed` integer, required: Number of Mux AI units consumed by this job. - `directive` JobDirectiveContextV0: The directive run that dispatched this job. Absent for jobs created via direct API POST. - `id` string, required: ID of the directive that dispatched this job. - `run_id` string, required: ID of the specific directive run that dispatched this job. - `created_at` integer, required: Unix timestamp (seconds) when the job was created. - `updated_at` integer, required: Unix timestamp (seconds) of the job's last state transition (e.g. when it started processing or reached a terminal state). - `workflow` 'edit-captions', required - `parameters` EditCaptionsJobParametersV0, required - `asset_id` string, required: The Mux asset ID whose existing text track should be edited. - `track_id` string, required: The existing ready Mux text track ID to edit and optionally replace. - `auto_censor_profanity` object: Optional LLM-driven profanity detection and censorship rules applied to the selected caption track. - `detection_method` 'llm': How profanity is detected. Currently only `llm` is supported, which uses an LLM to identify profanity in cue text. - `mode` 'blank' | 'remove' | 'mask': Replacement strategy for detected profanity: blank inserts bracketed underscores, remove drops the match, and mask replaces characters with question marks. Defaults to "blank". - `always_censor` string[]: Additional words or short phrases that should always be censored even if the model does not detect them. - `never_censor` string[]: Words or short phrases that should never be censored even if the model flags them. - `replacements` object[]: Optional static word or phrase replacements applied directly to cue text. - `find` string, required: Exact word or phrase to replace in cue text. - `replace` string, required: Replacement text to insert when a match is found. - `case_sensitive` boolean: When true, `find` is matched only with exact case. Defaults to false (case-insensitive matching), so "gonna" also matches "Gonna" and "GONNA". - `speaker_replacements` EditCaptionsSpeakerReplacementV0[]: Optional replacements for bracketed speaker labels at the start of caption cues. Values omit the surrounding square brackets, and matching spoken text is not changed. - `find` string, required: Existing speaker label without the surrounding square brackets. - `replace` string, required: New speaker label without the surrounding square brackets. - `upload_to_mux` boolean: Whether to upload the edited VTT back to the Mux asset as a text track. Defaults to true. - `replace_existing_tracks` 'replace' | 'fail': What to do with the source track. Defaults to `replace`: the source is deleted and the edited track takes its place under the same name, language and closed-captions setting; no other track is touched, and the source is restored if the edited track can't be added. `fail` deletes nothing and adds the edited track alongside the source, so it requires a `track_name` different from the source's. Either way the request is rejected if a track other than the source already has the edited track's name. `replace` requires `upload_to_mux` to be true. - `track_name` string: Name for the edited Mux text track. Defaults to the source track's name. Required and must differ from the source's name when `replace_existing_tracks` is `fail`. Mux requires text track names to be unique on an asset. - `delete_original_track` boolean: Deprecated: use `replace_existing_tracks`. When set, the previous behavior applies: the edited track is added as ` ()`, then the source is deleted if this is true. Cannot be combined with `replace_existing_tracks` or `track_name`. - `track_name_suffix` string: Deprecated: use `track_name`. Selects the previous naming scheme, appending this suffix to the source track's name (default "edited"). Cannot be combined with `replace_existing_tracks` or `track_name`. - `status` 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'errored' | 'cancelled', required: Current job status. - `errors` JobErrorV0[]: Error details. Present when status is 'errored'. - `type` string, required: Stable public error category identifier. - `message` string, required: Human-readable public error message. - `retryable` boolean: Whether retrying this job may resolve the error. - `resources` ResourcesV0: Related Mux resources linked to this job. - `assets` SlimlineAssetV0[], required: Mux assets associated with this job. - `id` string, required: Mux asset ID. - `meta` object: Mux asset metadata, if available. - `title` string: Asset title from Mux metadata. - `creator_id` string: Creator identifier from Mux metadata. - `external_id` string: External identifier from Mux metadata. - `passthrough` string: Passthrough string from the Mux asset. - `_links` object, required: Hypermedia links for the asset. - `self` object, required - `href` string, required: URL to the Mux asset resource. - `outputs` EditCaptionsJobOutputsV0: Workflow results. Present when status is 'completed'. - `total_replacement_count` integer, required: Total count of cue text replacements applied across all edit operations. - `uploaded_track_id` string: Mux text track ID for the uploaded edited captions. Present when upload_to_mux is true and the upload succeeds. - `temporary_vtt_url` string: Temporary pre-signed URL for downloading the edited VTT file. Expires 7 days after the job completes. - `replaced_tracks` ReplacedTrackV0[]: Every track deleted before the new track was created. Present when `replace_existing_tracks` was a deleting policy and at least one track was removed. - `id` string, required: Mux track ID of the deleted track. - `type` 'text' | 'audio': Mux track type of the deleted track. - `name` string: Name of the deleted track. - `language_code` string: Language code of the deleted track. - `text_source` string: Mux `text_source` of the deleted track, e.g. `uploaded` or `generated_vod`. Absent for audio tracks. - `passthrough` string: `passthrough` value the deleted track carried, if any. ## Other responses - `401`: Missing or invalid Mux credentials - `403`: Robots is not enabled for this environment.
