Is there an online Whisper instance I could use programmatically / with an API?

[Oneechan69]

I know that Whisper needs lots of computing power to run and to run it online would be to use someone else's computer(s) but I thought I might as well ask. It takes a very long time on my M1 Mac, one I found is the Whisper JAX Huggingface Space which is very fast but there's no API to use it, I can only use the Gradio UI. I want to be able to upload recordings programmatically and get back text files with timestamps.
