GetTranscribe

Interact with GetTranscribe API to transcribe videos from social media platforms

Actions7

Overview

This node integrates with the GetTranscribe API to manage video transcriptions from social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Specifically, the Get Transcription operation retrieves a transcription by its unique ID. This is useful when you want to fetch the text transcription of a previously processed video for further automation, analysis, or storage.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving the transcript of a video after it has been created to analyze content sentiment.
  • Fetching specific transcriptions to display subtitles or captions in an application.
  • Integrating transcription data into workflows for content indexing or search optimization.

Properties

Transcription ID The unique numeric identifier of the transcription you want to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs the transcription data as JSON. The structure corresponds to the transcription object returned by the GetTranscribe API for the specified transcription ID. This typically includes fields such as the transcription text, metadata about the video, timestamps, language, and possibly status information.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the GetTranscribe API.
  • Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials (referred generically as "an API key credential").
  • Network access to https://api.gettranscribe.ai must be available.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing transcription ID will cause the API to return an error.
    • Authentication failures if the API key credential is not set up correctly.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the GetTranscribe API endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • "404 Not Found": The transcription ID does not exist. Verify the ID is correct.
    • "401 Unauthorized": Authentication failed. Check that the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
    • "400 Bad Request": Input parameters are invalid or missing. Ensure the transcription ID is provided and is a number.

To resolve these errors, verify input parameters, ensure credentials are correctly configured, and confirm network connectivity.
