A moment falling between two segments resolves to the earlier one, and a moment outside the episode clamps to the first or last segment, so the returned range does not always contain `at` — `segment_start_seconds` and `segment_end_seconds` report what was actually returned. Every caller gets the same excerpt for a given moment regardless of plan, so unlike the full transcript this response is cacheable and safe to render for signed-out visitors. Use this to open a deep link on a moment; use get-episode-transcript for the whole episode. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/podcasts/episodes/{id}/transcript/preview openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: Public API for Particle — news intelligence, financial data, and analysis. title: Particle API version: 0.1.0 servers: - url: https://api.particle.pro security: - ApiKeyHeader: [] - BearerAuth: [] paths: /v1/podcasts/episodes/{id}/transcript/preview: get: tags: - Podcast Transcripts - tier:standard summary: Get a transcript excerpt around a moment description: >- Returns one segment of an episode's transcript: the latest segment starting at or before `at` (seconds), or the opening segment when `at` is omitted.
