How do I fetch a Wistia video by hashed ID?

Short answer: You can get media in Wistia by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Wistia Get Media action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Media.

What does the Get Media action do in Wistia?
Retrieves a Wistia media by hashed ID with name, duration, thumbnail, project, and embed code. Used to enrich trigger payloads or to render catalog UI.
What inputs does Get Media require?
Required: Hashed ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Wistia returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Wistia returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get Media support batch operations?
Run Get Media inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Wistia's rate limits.
