Get Source

Retrieve extracted text and source status by ID, including failure messages and client-side transcript cleaning.

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

Clean Transcript Option

cleanTranscript is not a REST query parameter or an MCP tool argument. The n8n Blotato node's Source > Get operation provides a local Clean Transcript option, enabled by default. It processes the returned content after the API request.

For REST or MCP, retrieve the completed content first, then remove transcript timestamps in your agent or workflow if requested. Do not send cleanTranscript to this endpoint expecting it to change the response.

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 at least 10 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

n8n and Make.com

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 of at least 10 seconds between status checks

5. The extracted content appears in the response
