Search Douyin videos by keyword and get the first video detail with JustOneAPI

Use this n8n workflow to search Douyin videos by keyword and get the first video detail with JustOneAPI.

Who’s it for

This template is for creator research teams, content operations teams, marketing teams, analysts, and automation builders who want to search Douyin video content and collect the first matched video detail in a reusable format.

What this workflow does

The workflow starts from a Douyin search keyword and sends a request to the Douyin Video Search V4 endpoint. It keeps the raw search response, extracts the first available video ID from the returned search results, then sends a second request to the Douyin Video Details V2 endpoint.

The workflow keeps both raw API responses for inspection and troubleshooting, and also converts the selected video detail into a cleaner structured output for downstream use.

This makes it useful for content discovery, video research, creator analysis, campaign monitoring, competitor research, content archiving, and automated reporting workflows.

What you need

• A JustOneAPI token
• A Douyin search keyword
• An n8n environment with HTTP Request node support

Set up

1. Import the workflow into n8n.

• You can connect the final output to Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, databases, alerts, dashboards, or other n8n workflows.
