All commandes below relies on the latest version of aws-cli.

• macOS install:

  $ brew install awscli
  (...)
  $ aws --version
  aws-cli/2.0.19 Python/3.8.3 Darwin/19.5.0 botocore/2.0.0dev23
  

Authentication¶

• Register default profile:

  $ aws configure
  

• Register additional profile:

  $ aws configure --profile bob
  

• List access keys:

  $ aws iam list-access-keys
  

• List access keys of another profile:

  $ aws iam --profile bob list-access-keys
  

Amazon Transcribe¶

• Fetch all names of the first 100 transcription jobs:

  $ aws transcribe list-transcription-jobs --query '[TranscriptionJobSummaries[*].TranscriptionJobName]' --max-results 100 --output text
  

• Get URL of the transcript produced by my_job_name job:

  $ aws transcribe get-transcription-job --transcription-job-name my_job_name --query '[TranscriptionJob.Transcript.TranscriptFileUri]' --output text
  

• Same as above but save the transcript content directly to a local transcript.txt file:

  $ AWS_PAGER="" aws transcribe get-transcription-job --transcription-job-name my_job_name --query '[TranscriptionJob.Transcript.TranscriptFileUri]' --output text | wget -i - -O - | jq --raw-output '.results.transcripts[0].transcript' > transcript.txt
  

• Putting it all together, here is how do download all transcripts from all your jobs:

  for JOB_ID in $(aws transcribe list-transcription-jobs --query '[TranscriptionJobSummaries[*].TranscriptionJobName]' --max-results 100 --output text);
      do AWS_PAGER="" aws transcribe get-transcription-job --transcription-job-name "$JOB_ID" --query '[TranscriptionJob.Transcript.TranscriptFileUri]' --output text | wget -i - -O - | jq --raw-output '.results.transcripts[0].transcript' > "$JOB_ID".txt;
  done
