Overview

This node, named "Minvo SL," is designed to convert YouTube video links into MP3 audio files by leveraging an external API service. It takes a YouTube video URL as input and returns the conversion result from the Minvo API. This node is useful in scenarios where users want to extract audio content from YouTube videos for offline listening, podcast creation, or audio analysis.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically converting a list of YouTube videos into MP3 files for a music playlist.
  • Extracting audio from tutorial videos for easier review on audio-only devices.
  • Integrating with other workflows that require audio data extracted from video sources.

Youtube Video Link The URL of the YouTube video to convert

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Minvo API for each input item. Each output item has a json field structured as follows:

{
  "response": {
    // The full JSON response returned by the Minvo API for the given YouTube link
  }
}

The exact structure inside response depends on the API's reply, typically including details about the MP3 conversion such as download URLs, status, or error messages.

No binary data output is indicated in the code.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Minvo API endpoint at https://api.minvo.com/v1/yt2mp3.
  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Minvo service (configured in n8n credentials).
  • Internet connectivity to reach the external API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or malformed YouTube video link may cause the API to return errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can lead to request failures.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will prevent successful API calls.

  • Error handling:

    • If the API request fails and the node is not set to continue on failure, it throws an error with the message from the API or network layer.
    • If "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the node captures the error message in the output JSON under an error property, allowing the workflow to proceed without interruption.
