Installation
Follow the community nodes installation guide in the n8n docs.
In your n8n instance:
- Go to Settings → Community Nodes.
- Select Install.
- Enter
n8n-nodes-captapias the npm package name. - Agree to the risks and select Install.
The Captapi node and Captapi API credential will then be available.
Credentials
You need a Captapi API key:
- Create a free account at captapi.com.
- Open Dashboard → API Keys and copy a key.
- In n8n, create a new Captapi API credential and paste the key.
The credential test calls /v1/account/limits to confirm the key works. Base URL defaults to https://api.captapi.com and rarely needs changing.
Operations
Pick a Platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), then an Operation. Highlights per platform:
- YouTube — Transcript, Summarizer, Video/Channel Details, Comments, Search, Channel Videos/Shorts/Streams/Playlists, Community Posts, Comment Replies, Downloads.
- TikTok — Transcript, Summarizer, Video/Channel Details, Comments, Search, Channel Posts, Followers/Followings, Music Posts, Song Details, Trending Feed, Popular Hashtags, Downloads.

- Facebook — Details, Transcript, Summarizer, Comments, Page Details, Profile Posts/Reels, Group Posts, Comment Replies.
Each operation maps 1:1 to a Captapi REST endpoint and exposes exactly the inputs that endpoint accepts (e.g. URL, Query, Limit, Language, Comment ID).
Usage
A minimal flow: Manual Trigger → Captapi.
- Add the Captapi node.
- Platform:
YouTube, Operation:YouTube Transcript. - URL:
