Async API
Get started with the Async API
The Symbl.ai Async API is a REST interface for submitting recorded or saved conversations in video, audio, and text formats. This guide gets you started with basic code samples you can use to process your conversations.
When you process a conversation in a supported format using the Async API, you can also get initial conversation intelligence. The Async API also provides a conversation ID for the conversation that you use to generate conversation intelligence.
For information about processing real-time conversations, such as virtual meetings or VoIP phone calls, see Streaming API and Telephony API.

Symbl.ai supports the following formats as conversation sources. This guide provides examples of requests for each method of submitting conversations.
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
