Taddy API n8n Integration

The Challenge

Podcast creators and automation enthusiasts needed a way to access Taddy's powerful podcast database without writing code. The Taddy API offered rich data on podcasts, episodes, and transcripts, but required GraphQL knowledge and custom integration work that put it out of reach for most no-code users.

The Solution

Built the first official n8n integration for Taddy Podcast API that:

• Provides 8 core operations (search, get transcripts, top charts, popular podcasts)
• Handles pagination automatically for large datasets
• Generates on-demand transcripts with credit protection
• Offers response field selection to optimize downstream processing
• Works seamlessly with n8n's visual workflow builder
• Includes comprehensive error handling and user-friendly messaging

The Tech

The integration is built as a community node package connecting:

1. TypeScript-based node structure with clean query architecture
2. GraphQL integration with Taddy's podcast database
3. Automatic pagination handling for requests exceeding limits
4. Credit toggle system preventing accidental transcript generation
5. Response field mapping for 50+ data points
6. npm package distribution for easy installation

Key Operations

• Search podcasts and episodes across millions of shows
• Retrieve existing transcripts or generate new ones on-demand
• Access top charts by country and genre from Apple Podcasts
• Get popular podcasts with language and genre filtering
• Fetch latest episodes across multiple shows simultaneously
