Show HN: n8n community node for Plaud AI voice recorders (unofficial API) (github.com)
1 points by monsieurleon 154 days ago
I built an n8n community node that lets you integrate Plaud voice recorder data into your workflows.

What it does: - List and download recordings - Access AI-generated transcripts, notes, and suggested questions - Get share links for recordings - Organize by folders/tags

Why I made this: Plaud has a Zapier integration but no public API. I wanted to automatically sync my meeting recordings to my knowledge base and trigger follow-up workflows. So I reverse-engineered their API from the web app.

The legal angle: I was careful here. The README cites EU Directive 2009/24/EC (Software Directive) which permits reverse engineering for interoperability. Plaud already accepts automation use cases via Zapier, so extending this to n8n seems reasonable.

Caveats: - Unofficial API - may break anytime - Auth requires manually grabbing a bearer token from browser DevTools - Token expiration behavior is unknown

Happy to answer questions about the reverse engineering process or n8n node development.
