VidNavigator integration

Actions7

Overview

The node integrates with the VidNavigator API to analyze YouTube videos by extracting insights such as summaries or answers to specific questions about the video content. It is useful for automating video content analysis workflows, enabling users to quickly obtain concise summaries or targeted information from videos without manual review.

Practical examples include:

Generating a brief summary of a YouTube video to understand its main points.
Asking a specific question about the video's content and receiving a direct answer.
Automating content curation by analyzing multiple videos for relevant information.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Video URL	The URL of the YouTube video to analyze.
Analysis Type	The type of analysis to perform on the video. Options: "Summary" (general overview), "Question" (answer a specific question).
Question	If "Analysis Type" is set to "Question", this is the specific question to ask about the video.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing the response from the VidNavigator API for the requested analysis. This typically includes either a summary text or an answer to the provided question based on the video content.

The output structure is:

{
  "json": {
    // The full API response object, which may contain fields like:
    "result": {
      // Analysis results such as summary text or answer string
    },
    "error": {
      // Error details if the request failed
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

Requires an API key credential for the VidNavigator service configured in n8n.
The node makes authenticated HTTP POST requests to the VidNavigator API base URL specified in the credentials.
Network access to the VidNavigator API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Incorrect or malformed YouTube video URLs may result in errors or empty responses.
- Providing a question when "Analysis Type" is not set to "Question" will be ignored.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API are included in the output JSON under an error field.
- Typical error resolutions involve verifying the API key, ensuring the video URL is correct, and checking network connectivity.
