Overview

This node, named "Minvo SL," is designed to convert YouTube video links into MP3 audio files by interacting with an external Minvo API. It takes a YouTube video URL as input and returns the conversion response from the 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 tracks from tutorial videos for easier review.
  • Integrating YouTube audio extraction into larger automation workflows.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Minvo API for each processed item. The structure is:

{
  "response": { /* API response object */ }
}

If the API call fails and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output JSON will contain an error message instead:

{
  "response": {
    "json": {
      "error": "Error message here"
    },
    "pairedItem": {
      "itemIndex": 0
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Minvo API endpoint at https://api.minvo.com/v1/yt2mp3.
  • Needs 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 missing YouTube video link format may cause the API to return errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Minvo API.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will result in authorization errors.

  • Error messages:

    • If the API request fails, the node throws an error with the message returned by the API or network layer.
    • When "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors are captured in the output JSON under the error field instead of stopping execution.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the YouTube video link is correctly formatted and publicly accessible.
    • Check API key validity and permissions.
    • Ensure stable internet connection and no firewall blocking requests to the API domain.
