HTTP Request and YouTube integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and YouTube and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Marketing workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect HTTP Request and YouTube

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and YouTube nodes

You can find HTTP Request and YouTube in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and YouTube nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

AI Youtube Trend Finder Based On Niche

Youtube Video

This n8n workflow is designed to assist YouTube content creators in identifying trending topics within a specific niche. By leveraging YouTube's search and data APIs, it gathers and analyzes video performance metrics from the past two days to provide insights into what content is gaining traction. Here's how the workflow operates:

Trigger Setup: The workflow begins when a user sends a query through the chat_message_received node. If no niche is provided, the AI prompts the user to select or input one.

AI Agent (Language Model): The central node utilizes a GPT-based AI agent to:
Understand the user's niche or content preferences.
Generate tailored search terms related to the niche.
Process YouTube API responses and summarize trends using insights such as common themes, tags, and audience engagement metrics (views, likes, and comments).

YouTube Search: The youtube_search node runs a secondary workflow to query YouTube for relevant videos published within the last two days. It retrieves basic video data such as video IDs, relevance scores, and publication dates.

Video Details Retrieval: The workflow fetches additional details for each video:
Video Snippet: Metadata like title, description, and tags.
Video Statistics: Metrics such as views, likes, and comments.
Content Details: Video duration, ensuring only content longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds is analyzed.

Data Processing:
Video metadata is cleaned, sanitized, and stored in memory.
Tags, titles, and descriptions are analyzed to identify patterns and trends across multiple videos.

Output: The workflow compiles insights and presents them to the user, highlighting:
The most common themes or patterns within the niche.
URLs to trending videos and their respective channels.
Engagement statistics, helping the user understand the popularity of the content.

Key Notes for Setup:
API Keys**: Ensure valid YouTube API credentials are configured in the get_videos, find_video_snippet, find_video_statistics, and find_video_data nodes.
Memory Buffer**: The window_buffer_memory node ensures the AI agent retains context during analysis, enhancing the quality of the generated insights.
Search Term Customization**: The AI agent dynamically creates search terms based on the user’s niche to improve search precision.

Use Case:
This workflow is ideal for YouTubers or marketers seeking data-driven inspiration for creating content that aligns with current trends, maximizing the potential to engage their audience.

Example Output:
For the niche "digital marketing":
Trending Topic: Videos about "mental triggers" and "psychological marketing."
Tags: "SEO," "Conversion Rates," "Social Proof."
Engagement: Videos with over 200K views and high likes/comment ratios are leading trends.

Nodes used in this workflow

Popular HTTP Request and YouTube workflows

Automated YouTube Subscription Notifications with RSS and Email

Who is this template for? You are in the bad habit of always checking your feed to see if there are new videos? This workflow will help you get rid of this habit by delivering an email notification for each new video posted from the channels you are subscribed to. No need to check your feed again: no email = no new video. Example email How it works Every hour (by default), we: Fetch all your YouTube subscriptions from the YouTube Data v3 API. Get a list of the latest videos of each channel through RSS (we don't use YouTube's API for this step as it would put us over the daily quota). Send you a simple yet beautiful email for each new video that was published since the last run of the workflow. To go to the video, simply click on the thumbnail. Caveats Because of the way this workflow is implemented, if your n8n instance stops, you will not get emails for the videos you missed when your instance is back online. The situation could be improved if n8n gave us an easy way to access the last successful execution's timestamp. Set up instructions Complete the Set up credentials step when you first open the workflow. You'll need YouTube OAuth2 API and SMTP credentials. In the Send an email for each new video step, set the email address from which the email will be sent (an email address that your SMTP credentials allow sending from) and the email address to which you are going to send the email to (can be the same). Optional steps From the Schedule Trigger step, you can change the check frequency (default: every hour). If there are channels that you do not want notifications from, you can add their channel ID to the list in the Filter out channels step. To get a channel's ID, go to its main page, click on the description, then "Share channel" and finally "Copy channel ID". By default, shorts are excluded. But if you want them, simply remove the Filter out shorts step from the workflow. Template was created in n8n v1.84.0

Create Daily YouTube Playlist, using Google Sheets, and get notified in Telegram

Are you a cord-cutter? Do you find yourself looking through the many titles of videos uploaded to Youtube, just to find the ones you want to watch? Even when you subscribe to the channels you like, do you find that you want to watch the news now and my tech/n8n videos later? Well, now you can have n8n grab the last 8 videos, posted in the last 24 hours, and put them in a playlist for the day; and, each day the old playlist is deleted. Are you tired of a channel filling your subscriptions with tons of videos a day; this workflow can be used for any channel, whether you are subscribed to the channel or not. It's a YouTube playlist automation. How it works: Create your list of prefered Youtube Channels in a Google Sheet and it will create you a daily playlist; and, it will delete the playlist created yesterday. Instructions To set this up, you need to create a Google Sheet with the following headings in line 1: Channel User Name Channel Name Channel Link Channel ID Copy the 'Create your Channel List' into it's own workflow and link the Sheets links to your new sheet. To get the 'Create your Channel List' to work, you need to visit each channel's page that you want included in your playlist; you need to get the "@" name of the channel and add it to the 'Channel User Name' column of your Google Sheet. For example: if you wanted to include this channel: Recruit Training Videos - Corporal Stock, you would search for the name, to add to the next available row of the 'Channel User Name' column: @CorporalStock Once you add all Channel User Names, run the 'Create your Channel list workflow, and it will fill in the remaining details. Now the 'YT Playlist Creator' can be run. Note: The first time the workflow us run, disconnect the 'Delete Yesterday's Playlist' leg, or the workflow will error and stop (because there is no 'Yesterday's Playlist'. Note: this was made to create a playlist every day, delete yesterday's playlist, and only get the last 8 videos posted within the last 24 hours. I choose to put the date (YYMMDD format) in front of the playlist, to ensure that it doesn't conflict with another playlist. Also, I have it notifying me in Telegram, so I know that the new playlist is posted.
