Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

The "Generate Dubbing" operation of the Lectful node allows users to trigger AI-powered dubbing generation for a specified video. This operation is useful in scenarios where you want to automatically create dubbed audio tracks for videos, enabling content localization or accessibility enhancements without manual voiceover recording.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically generating dubbed versions of educational videos in multiple languages.
  • Creating voiceovers for marketing videos to reach different regional audiences.
  • Enhancing video accessibility by providing alternative audio tracks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Mode Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API: "Use Stored Credentials" or "Manual Configuration".
Base URL Override (Manual mode only) Optional base URL to override the credential setting (without /api/v1).
API Key Override (Manual mode only) Optional API key to override the credential setting.
Video ID The unique identifier of the video for which to generate dubbing.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Lectful API after requesting dubbing generation. This typically includes status information about the dubbing job, such as whether it was successfully started, any identifiers for tracking the process, and related metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful API, authenticated either via stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
  • Proper configuration of API credentials or manual authentication parameters is necessary.
  • Network connectivity to the Lectful API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If using stored credentials, ensure they are correctly configured with a valid base URL and API key. For manual mode, both Base URL Override and API Key Override must be provided.
  • Video ID not provided or incorrect: The operation requires a valid video ID; ensure this is set and corresponds to an existing video in Lectful.
  • API errors: Errors returned by the Lectful API will be surfaced. Common issues might include authorization failures, invalid video IDs, or service unavailability.
  • Parsing errors: The node attempts to parse API responses as JSON; if the response is malformed, it may cause errors.

To resolve these issues:

  • Verify credentials and authentication mode settings.
  • Confirm the video ID is correct and the video exists.
  • Check network connectivity and Lectful API status.
  • Enable "Continue on Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully during workflow execution.
