How do I fetch a YouTube video's details?

Short answer: You can get video in YouTube by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the YouTube Get Video action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs 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 Video.

What does the Get Video action do in YouTube?

Returns details of a YouTube video by ID: title, description, thumbnails, duration, privacy status, and statistics. The standard read after a trigger fires with a video ID.

What inputs does Get Video require?

Required: Video 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 YouTube returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message YouTube 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 Video support batch operations?

Run Get Video 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 YouTube's rate limits.
