VidNavigatorInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the VidNavigator API to perform various video-related operations such as searching videos, analyzing video content, fetching transcripts, transcribing non-YouTube videos, running custom tools, and answering follow-up questions about a video. Specifically, the "Answer Follow-Up Question" operation allows users to provide a video URL and a follow-up question related to that video, and it returns an answer based on the video's content.

Practical scenarios include:

• Enhancing customer support by automatically answering questions about video tutorials.
• Creating interactive video experiences where viewers can ask questions about the video content.
• Automating video content analysis workflows by extracting insights through follow-up queries.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing the response from the VidNavigator API for the follow-up question. The structure typically includes the answer or relevant data returned by the API under the json field. If the API call fails or the operation is unsupported, the output will contain an error message in the JSON.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output JSON structure:

{
  "result": {
    // API-specific answer data here
  }
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for VidNavigator API access.
• The node makes authenticated HTTP POST requests to the VidNavigator API base URL configured in the credentials.
• Proper configuration of the VidNavigator API base URL and authentication token is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Incorrect or malformed video URLs may result in errors or empty responses.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Providing an unsupported operation name will return an error indicating "Unsupported operation".

• Error messages:

  • "error": "Unsupported operation": This means the selected operation is not implemented or recognized; ensure the operation parameter is set correctly.
  • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
  • JSON parsing errors in the request body (for custom requests) require checking the JSON syntax.
