# Create Capture Endpoint

`POST /captures`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.voicelabs.now` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.voicelabs.now/captures`
- Auth: none declared

Upload audio, run STT, persist the capture.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- CaptureCreateResponse: Response model for ``POST /captures``. Adds ``auto_refine`` and ``allow_auto_paste`` — the server-side settings captured at the moment the capture was created. The client reads these to decide whether to chain a refinement request and whether to fire the synthetic-paste pipeline, so it doesn't need a synced local copy of the capture_settings table across sibling Tauri webviews.
