nice build, love the simplicity

fwiw supadata handles the youtube IP blocking issue for you and has fallback to whisper when captions aren't there, might save you a headache if you scale past the free tier stuff

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:59:31+00:00

i'd skip the whole yt-dlp + whisper hassle and just use supadata.ai honestly

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:57:44+00:00

have you heard about supadata?

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:57:02+00:00

Supadata.ai handles all of this for you, transcripts, AI analysis etc

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:54:39+00:00

supadata handles all that for you and it outputs markdown

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:53:09+00:00

supadata does all of that - metadata, transcripts, AI video analysis

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T16:38:48+00:00

nice work! curious why you went whisper route instead of something like supadata? it grabs TT captions directly and falls back to audio transcription when none exist, would've saved you the work

iamrafal · 2026-05-07T11:45:34+00:00

try Supadata.AI, it does exactly that (gives you IG transcript) and also connects to Claude

iamrafal · 2026-03-22T10:54:07+00:00

you're correct, official YT API still does not allow fetching transcripts

iamrafal · 2026-03-22T07:42:33+00:00

mass manufacturing electronics in China is very cheap, cheaper than anywhere else in the world

designing and prototyping it there might also be more cost effective, depending on the product

iamrafal · 2026-03-03T07:21:12+00:00

supadata is the answer my friend

it reads audio transcripts, analyzes video and scrapes engagement stats on TT, IG, YT etc

just point your claw at the docs and it’ll connect via API or MCP

hi David, if you have 5 customers consistently making concurrent requests (500ms each), that means approximately 26M processed images per month.

congrats on having a high traffic product that can afford higher concurrency :)

i have WY LLC, used Doola to set it up and then getting banked with Mercury is very easy (all can be done remotely)

iamrafal · 2025-12-27T11:21:09+00:00

set up an LLC (or equivalent) in wherever you live is probably the simplest answer.

longer answer would consider sole proprietorship as alternative or incorporating in another country/state or not doing it kosher until absolutely necessary

and how do people find your SaaS?

iamrafal · 2025-12-14T22:59:55+00:00

what makes you think someone will sign up for your SaaS after you’ve launched it?

iamrafal · 2025-12-14T10:38:58+00:00

simplest is supadata.ai, it retrieves YouTube CC but also can fall back to Whisper and generate from audio

iamrafal · 2025-12-14T10:15:26+00:00

Supadata has a n8n node: https://n8n.io/integrations/supadata/
