subtitleLinks

Hi! If you are watching Stephen Pope video, "I THINK" the subtitleLinks is from another source, I think it is not possible to build the first path in Make.com. This path must be built in the future. I didn't finish the video, so I am not sure.

Hi all, thanks for opening this issue!

I don't have any knowledge about the Airtable or Make.com platform, but I can provide you with information about this scraper and our platform.

Essentially, subtitle links are extracted into separate datasets, where each of the subtitles have their own key. I'm not sure how the other platforms allow you to go around multiple datasets, so I'm guessing that there is probably going to be some limitation there.

FYI the subtitle dataset links are stored in the main output like so: [item].videoMeta.[subtitle].downloadLink

I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!

[item].videoMeta.[subtitle].downloadLink returns a mp4 video and not subtitle like srt or vtt. Any idea what the next step could be to extract the transcript from tiktoks?

Hi Michiel, simply turn on the shouldDownloadSubtitles option and the downloadLink will get replaced with the correct one :) To explain, without this option, the field is just the original one from TikTok, which is getting blocked without some required cookies.

I hope this helps, thanks!

Hi Lukas, thanks for your quick reply. I am new with Apify. I have turned on 'Include subtitles' under 'input' tab. But this doesn't change the output as far as I can see. Still gets a downlink link to mp4 file. What am I doing wrong? Regards, Michiel

Are you accessing the correct field? I can access the downloaded subtitles just fine under the [item].videoMeta.[subtitle].downloadLink output field.

See this example run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/qg0sP6mTIsKMH3TdP

Hi, I got it now in the end. I am using make.com and I had to give the correct JSON instructions :-) I only gave it the profile name!

{ "profiles": ["{{profile name}}"], "resultsPerPage": 1, "shouldDownloadCovers": false, "shouldDownloadSubtitles": true, "shouldDownloadVideos": false }

Cheers for your help!
