How to Turn Web Pages, YouTube Videos and RSS Feeds into NotebookLM Podcasts with n8n

Description and use

Automated conversion of web pages, YouTube videos, and RSS feeds into podcasts using n8n workflows and NotebookLM.

Problem

Convert arbitrary web content into audio podcasts automatically.

Outcome

Two free n8n workflows produce .m4a podcasts from links or RSS feeds, running on a self‑hosted n8n instance with a free Google account.

Workflow

• Create notebook via POST /notebooks
• Add sources via POST /sources
• Poll notebook until sources are read
• Generate Audio Overview via POST /artifacts
• Poll job status via GET /jobs
• Download .m4a audio
• (Optional) Send audio to storage or podcast host

Evidence

Two free n8n workflows send your links to NotebookLM through the useapi.net NotebookLM API (Gemini Notebook API) and bring back the finished podcast as an .m4a file.

Source

Both files are in the notebooklm-api repository on GitHub, MIT-licensed. They were tested on self-hosted n8n 2.41.

A short brief takes about 3 to 10 minutes. Add a Google Drive, S3, Telegram or podcast-host node after Download audio to send each episode where you need it.
