Description
This workflow automatically fetches all videos from a specific YouTube playlist, extracts their transcripts using SerpApi, aggregates the text into a single JSON report, and emails the final file via Gmail. It's perfect for content creators, researchers, or SEO teams who need to archive or analyze video content in bulk.
Prerequisites:
Google Cloud Console: Enable the YouTube Data API v3 and get an API Key.
SerpApi Account: An API key to access the youtube_video_transcript engine.
Gmail Credentials: Set up the Gmail node with OAuth2 to send the final report.
Setup Instructions:
Fetch Playlist Node: Replace REPLACE_WITH_PLAYLIST_ID in the URL with your target Playlist ID and add your YouTube API Key.
SerpApi Node: Replace REPLACE_WITH_SERPAPI_KEY in the URL.
Send Email Node: Connect your Gmail account and update the recipient email address.
