Overview
This node integrates with the Outscraper API to retrieve information about YouTube channels. It allows users to input a domain or link related to a YouTube channel and fetch detailed data about that channel. This is useful for scenarios such as social media analysis, marketing research, competitor monitoring, or content aggregation where you need structured channel data from YouTube.
For example, you can provide a YouTube channel URL or username, and the node will return channel details like title, description, and channel ID. It also supports asynchronous execution and webhook callbacks for long-running tasks.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Query | Domain or link to the YouTube channel to query (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/@outscraper or outscraper). This is required. |
| Async | Boolean flag indicating whether to execute the request asynchronously. |
| Webhook | URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the task is finished (used with async mode). |
| Additional Fields | Collection of optional fields: |
| - Fields | Comma-separated list of specific fields to include in the response (e.g., title,description,channel_id). |
| - UI | Boolean flag to execute the request as a UI task. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the requested YouTube channel information. The structure typically includes fields such as:
title: The name/title of the YouTube channel.description: Description text of the channel.channel_id: Unique identifier of the channel.- Other fields as specified in the "Fields" property.
If asynchronous execution is enabled, 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.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Outscraper API key credential configured in n8n.
- Network access to Outscraper API endpoints.
- Optional webhook URL if using asynchronous execution.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Incorrect or malformed YouTube channel query: Verify the channel URL or username format.
- Webhook not reachable or misconfigured: If using async mode, ensure the webhook URL is publicly accessible and correctly handles POST requests.
- Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API credentials.
- Request validation errors may occur if the query parameter is empty or improperly formatted.
- Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues with the Outscraper service.
