🎬 Summarize YouTube videos into actionable notes with Supadata, Claude and Gmail
⚡ 44 views · 🎬 Content Creation & Video
💡 Pro Tip — YouTube’s API quotas can be a bottleneck when you’re pulling data at scale. ScraperNode is a community node with dedicated scrapers for channels, videos, and comments — no quota limits, just structured data.
Description
Quick Overview
This workflow takes a YouTube URL, fetches the video transcript via Supadata, summarizes it into a TL;DR, takeaways, notes, and action items using Anthropic Claude, and emails the formatted results to you via Gmail.
How it works
- Runs manually when you click Test workflow.
- Reads the YouTube URL, optional focus topic, transcript API key, Anthropic API key, model name, and recipient email from the workflow configuration.
- Calls the Supadata YouTube Transcript API to retrieve the video transcript text.
- Sends the transcript (optionally weighted by your focus) to the Anthropic Messages API to generate a JSON-structured title, TL;DR, key takeaways, notes, and action items.
- Formats the AI output into an HTML email with sections for TL;DR, key takeaways, notes, and action items.
- Sends the formatted notes to the configured recipient using Gmail.
Setup
- Add a Supadata API key and paste it into the configuration fields along with the YouTube URL you want to summarize.
- Provide an Anthropic API key, set the model name you want to use, and ensure the workflow can reach the Anthropic Messages API.
- Connect your Gmail account in the Gmail node and set the recipient email address in the configuration fields.
