# Transcribe GitHub Files

## Step 1: Upload Your Audio Files to a Public GitHub Repository

* **File Requirements**: GitHub has a file size limit of 100MB so ensure your audio files are 100MB in size or less. The files must be in a public repository otherwise you will receive an error saying the file is not publicly accessible. For a more secure way to host files check out our [Transcribing from an S3 Bucket Cookbook](/pre-recorded-audio/guides/transcribe_from_s3).

## Step 2: Obtain the Raw Audio URL from GitHub

1. Navigate to the repository that houses the audio file.
2. Click on the audio file. On the next page, right-click the "View raw" link and select "copy the link address" from the context menu.

Downloadable file URLs are formatted as `"https://github.com/<github-username>/<repo-name>/raw/<branch-name>/<file-name-and extension>"`

## Step 3: Add the Audio URL to your Request

POST `v2/transcript` endpoint

```JSON theme={null}
{
    "audio_url":"https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3"
}
```

Python SDK

```python theme={null}
config = aai.TranscriptionConfig()
transcript = transcriber.transcribe("https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3", config)
```

JavaScript SDK

```javascript theme={null}
const transcript = await client.transcripts.transcribe({
  audio_url: "https://github.com/user/audio-files/raw/main/audio.mp3"
});
```
