I agree with freedomben that the reason people are confused is probably because your README says

> curl -X 'POST' 'https://innovatorved-whisper-api.hf.space/api/v1/users/get_t...'

while later saying

> curl -X 'POST' 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/transcribe/?model=tiny.en.q5'

If you just change the first "curl" to also be localhost:8000, this will be cleared up.
