}Limits
- Maximum per call: 1 transcripts.
- Minimum per call: 1 transcript — a target with less data returns fewer transcripts, and an empty result is still a successful call.
- Each call fetches a full page of up to 1 and costs the same either way. Pass limit to receive fewer than that in the response.
- This endpoint returns a single record per call and is not paginated.
