Automate TikTok Transcript Generation and Storage
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly extract and store transcripts from TikTok videos. This workflow automates the process of fetching video URLs, generating transcripts using an API, cleaning the text, and saving everything to Google Sheets.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a seamless solution for capturing valuable textual data from TikTok. It starts by reading video URLs from a Google Sheet, then utilizes an HTTP Request node to interact with a TikTok transcript generator API. After successfully retrieving the raw subtitles, a code node cleans the output by removing extraneous information like the WEBVTT header and timestamps. Finally, the cleaned transcripts are appended or updated back into your Google Sheet, alongside the original video URL and the generation date. This automation saves significant manual effort and ensures a centralized repository of your TikTok video content's textual essence.
Key Features
- Automated Transcript Extraction: Generates transcripts directly from TikTok video URLs.
- Data Cleaning: Removes WEBVTT headers and timestamps for clean, usable text.
- Google Sheets Integration: Seamlessly reads from and writes to Google Sheets for easy data management.
- Conditional Processing: Intelligently handles potential API errors, ensuring robustness.
- Timestamped Records: Automatically adds a generation date to each record.
How To Use
- Connect Google Sheets: Configure your Google Sheets credentials in the "Google Sheets2" and "Google Sheets" nodes, specifying the correct Document ID and Sheet Name (defaulting to Sheet1).
- Input TikTok URLs: Populate your designated Google Sheet with TikTok video URLs in a column named "Video Url".
- Configure HTTP Request: Ensure the "HTTP Request" node is set to POST and that the URL parameter is dynamically set to
={{ $json['Video Url'] }}. You will need to provide your RapidAPI key for thex-rapidapi-keyheader. - Review Code Node: The "Code" node is pre-configured to clean the raw subtitle output. No modifications are typically needed.
- Set Up Conditional Logic: The "If1" node is set up to skip processing if a 404 error is encountered by the API. Adjust the error handling as needed.
- Add Optional Wait: The "Wait" node introduces a delay to avoid overwhelming the API. Adjust the
amountparameter (in seconds) as required. - Activate and Monitor: Run the workflow and monitor the execution to ensure data is correctly written to your Google Sheet.
