Transcribe New YouTube Videos and Save to Supabase

Who's It For?

This workflow is for content creators, marketers, researchers, and anyone who needs to quickly get text transcripts from YouTube videos. If you analyze video content, repurpose it for blogs or social media, or want to make videos searchable, this template will save you hours of manual work.

What It Does

This template automatically monitors multiple YouTube channels for new videos. When a new video is published, it extracts the video ID, retrieves the full transcript using the youtube-transcript.io API, and saves the structured data—including the title, author, URL, and full transcript—into a Supabase table.

It intelligently filters out YouTube Shorts by default and includes error handling to ensure that only successful transcriptions are processed.

Requirements

A Supabase account with a table ready to receive the video data. An API key from [youtube-transcript.io](https://www.youtube-transcript.io/) (offers a free tier). The Channel ID for each YouTube channel you want to track. You can find this using a free online tool like TunePocket's Channel ID Finder.
