Use FetchFox in Make with the HTTP module
Use Make’s generic HTTP module for a small transcript workflow. There is no dedicated FetchFox app to install.
Configure a manual transcript request
Create a scenario with HTTP → Make a request. Store your key using the module’s API-key credential/keychain controls, with header name x-access-key. Avoid placing it in query parameters or exported scenario text.
- Set the URL to https://api.fetchfox.net/youtube/transcript and the method to GET.
- Add a query parameter named url containing the complete public YouTube URL.
- Enable JSON response parsing. Run once and inspect the successful response.
- Map data.transcript into your own document or database; preserve data.url and your retrieval time.
Bound the workflow before scheduling
Begin with one manual request and confirm the one-credit charge in FetchFox history. Keep the scenario manual or weekly during the free trial; daily successful requests can exceed 20 monthly credits.
Filter failed responses before downstream actions. For 429, respect Retry-After; keep retries bounded and do not repeatedly retry missing captions. Make execution fees and FetchFox credits are separate. This guide configures a generic HTTP workflow, not a certified native integration.
