Actions18

Overview

This node integrates with the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API to retrieve reposts of a specific LinkedIn post. It is useful for scenarios where you want to analyze or monitor the engagement and distribution of a LinkedIn post by fetching the users who have reposted it. For example, marketers or social media analysts can use this node to track how widely a post has been shared on LinkedIn.

Properties

Name Meaning
Post URN The unique identifier of the LinkedIn post, including its prefix (e.g., activity:123456789).
Count Maximum number of repost results to return.
Timeout Timeout duration in seconds for the API request.

Output

The output contains a JSON array of repost objects representing users or entities that have reposted the specified LinkedIn post. Each item in the output corresponds to one repost entry returned by the API.

  • The json field holds the repost data as received from the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API.
  • There is no binary data output for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Horizon Data Wave LinkedIn API.
  • Requires an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the Horizon Data Wave service.
  • The base URL used for requests is https://api.horizondatawave.ai.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing Post URN: Ensure the Post URN includes the correct prefix (e.g., activity:) and is valid.
    • API timeouts: If the timeout is too low, increase the "Timeout" property to allow more time for the API response.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
  • Error messages:
    • Errors returned from the API will be included in the output under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical error details include invalid parameters or authentication failures; check the message and adjust inputs or credentials accordingly.
