Overview
The node integrates with the Outscraper API to perform Google Search operations, specifically here focusing on searching for videos. It allows users to query Google for video content matching a search term and retrieve multiple pages of results. This is useful for scenarios such as content research, media monitoring, competitive analysis, or gathering video data for marketing campaigns.
For example, a user might search for "latest tech reviews" videos to gather recent video content related to technology reviews, or track trending video topics in a specific region or language.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Query | The search query string to find relevant videos on Google. |
| Pages Per Query | Number of pages of results to return per query (pagination limit). |
| Async Request | Whether to make the request asynchronously (true/false). |
| Webhook | URL to which Outscraper will send a POST callback once the asynchronous task is finished. |
| Language | Language code to localize the search results (e.g., "en" for English, "fr" for French). |
| Additional Fields | Collection of optional parameters: |
| - Date Range | Filter results by date range: Past Hour, Past 24 Hours, Past Week, Past Month, Past Year. |
| - Fields | Comma-separated list of specific fields to return in the response. |
| - Region | Country code to localize results (e.g., "us", "uk", "fr"). |
| - Skip | Number of results to skip for pagination purposes. |
| - UULE Parameter | Google UULE parameter to encode a specific location for more precise geotargeting. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the search results from Google Videos according to the query and parameters specified. The structure typically includes metadata about each video result such as title, URL, snippet, publish date, channel information, and possibly other fields depending on the requested fields.
If the node supports asynchronous requests, the output may initially contain task status information, and the final results will be sent to the provided webhook URL.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Outscraper API key credential configured in n8n.
- Internet access to call the Outscraper API endpoint.
- Proper configuration of the base URL and API key in the node credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Exceeding rate limits: Outscraper API may throttle requests; consider reducing pages per query or adding delays.
- Incorrect webhook URL: For async requests, ensure the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correctly formatted.
- Unsupported language or region codes: Use valid ISO codes to avoid empty or unexpected results.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors: Check API key validity.
- Request timeout or network errors: Verify internet connectivity and API availability.
- Invalid parameter values: Confirm that all input properties conform to expected formats and allowed options.
