Grab a YouTube video that isn't a 'short'?

Hi,

I'm trying to grab a YouTube video but I don't want to grab shorts. As I understand it you cannot differentiate videos served up from YouTube, but is there a way of putting in a condition in my workflow that says "only published if the length is longer than five minutes"?

If in the response you are getting a status that can say that the Video is published and fulfills all the conditions then you can use the Filter action step accordingly.

Our support is limited to only with technical errors only. We cannot help you in managing the workflows.
