Perplexity

Process media uploads in CI/CD pipelines.

Run a shell script that first calls `create_job` to upload and queue the media file. This works perfectly in GitHub Actions or any Docker container where you need background processing. The resulting job ID is then passed along for subsequent steps.

Check long-running jobs from a cron script.

For scheduled tasks, your Claude Code environment uses `get_job`. This allows the script to poll the MCP Server repeatedly until the transcription job status changes to 'Complete.' It’s reliable background checking that doesn't require manual intervention.

Download transcripts for artifact storage.

Once the pipeline confirms completion, the script executes `get_transcript`. This downloads the final text data directly to a defined output folder or pipes it into another tool. This makes Verbit ideal for automated record-keeping and documentation generation.
