Interact with GetTranscribe API to transcribe videos from social media platforms

Actions7

Overview

This node integrates with the GetTranscribe API to create transcriptions from videos hosted on popular social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. It allows users to submit a video URL and receive a text transcription of the audio content. This is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, or researchers who want to extract spoken content from videos for accessibility, analysis, or repurposing.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automatically generating subtitles or captions for social media videos.
  • Extracting interview transcripts from recorded video content.
  • Archiving spoken content from various video sources in text form.
  • Enhancing searchability of video content by indexing transcriptions.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API key credential for the GetTranscribe service configured in n8n.
  • Network access to the GetTranscribe API endpoint (https://api.gettranscribe.ai).
  • Proper configuration of authentication credentials in n8n to authorize API requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing video URL: Ensure the URL is correct and publicly accessible.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
    • Unsupported video platform: Only certain platforms are supported; check if the video URL is from a supported source.
    • Rate limits or quota exceeded: The API may limit the number of requests; monitor usage accordingly.

  • Error messages:

    • "error": "Invalid URL": Check the video URL format and accessibility.
    • "error": "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Confirm API credentials are valid.
    • "error": "Transcription not found": When retrieving a transcription by ID, verify the ID is correct.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, ensuring credentials are valid, and confirming network connectivity.
