Scrape Creators

Get real time social media data

Overview

The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including TikTok. Specifically, for the TikTok resource and the operation "Get TikTok Video Transcript," it extracts the transcript text of a given TikTok video by its URL. This is useful for content analysis, accessibility improvements, or generating subtitles from TikTok videos.

Common scenarios include:

  • Automatically retrieving video transcripts for content indexing or search.
  • Extracting spoken content for sentiment analysis or keyword extraction.
  • Enhancing accessibility by providing captions or transcripts.

Example: Given a TikTok video URL, the node fetches the full transcript text, which can then be used downstream in workflows for translation, summarization, or archiving.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL The URL of the TikTok video to retrieve the transcript from. Example: https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7515167006698573099

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the transcript of the specified TikTok video. The exact structure is not fully detailed in the source code, but typically it will include fields such as:

  • transcript: The textual content of the video's spoken words.
  • Possibly metadata about the video or transcript timing.

If binary data were involved (e.g., video or audio files), it would be indicated, but here the focus is on textual transcript data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Scrape Creators service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to https://api.scrapecreators.com with appropriate headers including the API key.
  • No other external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured in n8n; otherwise, authentication errors will occur.
  • Invalid TikTok URL: The URL must be a valid TikTok video link; malformed URLs may cause request failures or empty responses.
  • API rate limits: The Scrape Creators API may enforce rate limits; hitting these could result in temporary blocking or errors.
  • No transcript available: Some TikTok videos might not have transcripts available, resulting in empty or null output.
