Package Exports
- n8n-nodes-transcriptmagic
- n8n-nodes-transcriptmagic/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (n8n-nodes-transcriptmagic) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Output formats
The node exposes two output modes via Options → Output Format:
- Normalized (default) —
{ text, platform, credits, url }. Hides per-platform shape differences so the same downstream nodes work across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. - Raw — the upstream API response passed through verbatim. Use this when you need YouTube's per-line timed segments or platform-specific metadata (
videoUrls,language, etc).
Error handling
- Continue on fail is supported. A bad URL in a batch surfaces as a per-item error, and the rest of the batch keeps running.
- Rate limits: when the API returns
429, the node honorsRetry-Afterand retries once. The per-key limit is 120 requests/minute.
Telemetry
Every request sends X-TM-Client: n8n@<version> so the TranscriptMagic team can measure n8n adoption separately from raw API traffic. No request body, URLs, or identifying user data are logged beyond what TranscriptMagic already collects for billing.
