Get Source

Retrieve extracted content by source ID.

Endpoint

GET https://backend.blotato.com/v2/source-resolutions-v3/:id

Authentication

Include your Blotato API key in the request headers:

blotato-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
id	string	Yes	The source resolution ID (UUID) from Create Source
cleanTranscript	boolean	No	Remove timestamps from transcripts. Default: true

Clean Transcript Option

When cleanTranscript is enabled (default), the response removes:

• VTT/SRT timestamp lines

• Sequence numbers

• Markdown formatting

This makes transcripts easier to use for content repurposing.

Status Values

Status	Description
queued	Source submitted, waiting to process
processing	Extraction in progress
completed	Extraction successful, content available
failed	Extraction failed, check message field

Polling Pattern

Source extraction is asynchronous. After calling Create Source:

1. Wait 2-5 seconds

2. Call Get Source with the ID

3. If status is queued or processing, wait and retry

4. If status is completed, use the content field

5. If status is failed, check the message field

In the official Blotato nodes:

1. Add a Blotato node

2. Select "Source" > "Get"

3. Pass in the source ID from "Create Source"

4. Add a Wait node (5-10 seconds) between Create and Get for longer content

5. The extracted content appears in the response
