Supadata

Access Supadata API to fetch YouTube and web data

Actions7

Overview

The Supadata node's "YouTube → Get Playlist" operation retrieves detailed information about a specific YouTube playlist. By providing the playlist's ID or URL, users can fetch metadata such as the playlist's title, description, number of videos, and other related details. This is useful for automating workflows that require playlist data, such as content aggregation, reporting, or integrating YouTube playlists into dashboards.

Example scenarios:

  • Automatically cataloging playlists from multiple channels.
  • Enriching CRM records with YouTube playlist information.
  • Monitoring changes to specific playlists for content updates.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Playlist String The ID or full URL of the YouTube playlist whose details you want to retrieve. (Required)

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the details of the requested YouTube playlist. While the exact structure depends on the Supadata API response, typical fields may include:

{
  "id": "PLlaN88a7y2_plecYoJxvRFTLHVbIVAOoc",
  "title": "My Playlist Title",
  "description": "A description of the playlist.",
  "channelId": "UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw",
  "itemCount": 25,
  "publishedAt": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  // ...other metadata fields
}
  • The json field in n8n will contain this playlist metadata.
  • No binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Supadata API: Requires valid credentials for the Supadata API (supadataApi).
  • n8n Configuration: The node must be configured with the appropriate API key or authentication method for Supadata.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Playlist ID/URL: If the provided playlist ID or URL is incorrect or does not exist, the node will return an error message from the Supadata API.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid Supadata API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting by the Supadata API.

Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Playlist not found": Check that the Playlist property contains a valid YouTube playlist ID or URL.
  • "Invalid credentials": Ensure your Supadata API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
  • "Request failed with status code 429": Wait before retrying, as this indicates you've hit a rate limit.
