# Get a single meeting and its transcript (JSON)

`GET /{locale}/{slug}.json`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://transcripts.un.org`
- URL: `https://transcripts.un.org/{locale}/{slug}.json`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/united-nations/apis/un-transcripts-api/docs/:locale/:slug.json/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Returns the meeting metadata and transcript for a slug derived from a UN document symbol. The response has one of three shapes depending on transcript availability (completed, in-progress, or absent — see the schema).

`slug` may contain slashes (it is a multi-segment path). Examples:
- `sc/10175` — Security Council (S/PV.10175)
- `ga/79/21` — General Assembly plenary (A/79/PV.21)
- `ga/c1/79/21` — GA First Committee
- `hrc/55/12` — Human Rights Council
- `ecosoc/2024/30` — ECOSOC
- `asset/k1a2b3c4` — permalink for videos without a document symbol

## Path parameters

- `locale` 'ar' | 'zh' | 'en' | 'fr' | 'ru' | 'es', required
- `slug` string, required

## Query parameters

- `language` 'ar' | 'zh' | 'en' | 'fr' | 'ru' | 'es'

## Response `200`
