Q&A
What is the focus of the video with regards to web hooks and AI automations?
The video focuses on using web hooks to process and track requests, creating AI automations with make.com's API toolkit, accessing modules at a lower cost, and providing early access to the toolkit for the community.
What are the key features of the no code Architects toolkit API?
The no code Architects toolkit API allows users to create modules, add connections, use web hooks for processing files and automating processes, track requests and responses using an Airtable database, and automate processes using web hooks.
How can I transcribe a video and create an MP3 using the API toolkit?
You can use Postman to make an API call to transcribe a video and create an MP3. Set the video file to public and shareable before making the API call. Test with small video files (25MB or lower) to ensure quick processing. Additionally, you can use Make's HTTP module to make API calls for transcribing and MP3 generation.
What does the tutorial on setting up a service using the no code architect toolkit cover?
The tutorial covers creating an API endpoint, configuring CPU allocation, pricing, container volumes, networking, and security settings, integrating environment variables and secrets, testing the API using Postman, and deploying the API on Google Cloud.
How can I set up a new project on Google Cloud for the API toolkit?
To set up a new project on Google Cloud, go to console.cloud.google.com, create a new project, enable Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive API, and Google Run API. Then, create a service account, generate keys, create a bucket on Cloud Storage, and deploy a server on Cloud Run with a container image.
What does the API toolkit on Google Cloud offer?
The API toolkit on Google Cloud offers modules for converting media to MP3, transcribing media, combining videos, and more. It allows users to reduce costs by deploying their own API.
