Interface

Endpoint: POST https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run · Model: openai/whisper-1

Standard API flow

cURL interface

Use cURL when you want the clearest raw HTTP example. This is the fastest way to validate auth, inputs, output shape, and the canonical endpoint before wiring the API into code or agent workflows.

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/whisper-1",
    "inputs": {
      // Your parameters here
    }
  }'

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OpenAI Whisper API used for?

OpenAI Whisper is a speech-to-text api available through SkillBoss. Teams use it to add OpenAI Whisper to apps, automations, and AI agent workflows without managing separate vendor credentials. This page gives both humans and agents one stable place to understand the capability, pricing path, and invocation pattern before they ship it into production.

How do I call OpenAI Whisper on SkillBoss?

Send a POST request to https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run with "model": "openai/whisper-1" and an "inputs" object. SkillBoss handles auth, billing, and the unified API layer. If you are testing the endpoint manually, start with the cURL or Python tab below. If you are wiring an autonomous agent, use the x402 or MPP tabs when the payment path matters.

Why use SkillBoss instead of the native openai setup?

SkillBoss gives you one API key, pay-as-you-go billing, and a consistent integration flow across many APIs. That reduces setup time and makes the endpoint easier to use in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other agents. It also gives you a canonical public page, consistent docs, and one billing surface instead of forcing each team to juggle provider-specific auth and pricing rules.

Is OpenAI Whisper good for AI agents as well as human developers?

Yes. This page is designed as a discovery surface for both humans and agents: clear capability framing, direct code examples, and a stable canonical URL make it easier to find, evaluate, and invoke. The structure is deliberate so search engines, agent runtimes, and developers can all understand what the endpoint does, how it is paid for, and which next pages matter.

Does OpenAI Whisper support x402 or MPP machine payments?

OpenAI Whisper is compatible with x402 and MPP when billed with deterministic pricing such as per-request or other fixed-cost execution. Agents can pay per call and avoid pre-funding.
