Actions18

Overview

The node integrates with the LATE social media management platform, enabling users to list social media posts across multiple platforms such as Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. This operation is useful for retrieving a paginated list of posts filtered by status and platform, helping users monitor and manage their scheduled, published, or draft posts efficiently.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all published posts on Instagram for reporting.
  • Retrieving drafts on LinkedIn to review before publishing.
  • Listing failed posts on Twitter to troubleshoot issues.

Properties

Name Meaning
Page The page number of the results to retrieve (pagination).
Limit Number of posts per page to return, with a maximum of 100.
Status Filter posts by their status. Options: All, Draft, Scheduled, Published, Failed.
Platform Filter posts by social media platform. Options: All, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array of post objects matching the specified filters and pagination. Each post object typically contains details such as post content, status, platform, scheduling information, and metadata relevant to the social media post.

If binary data is returned (e.g., media attachments), it would represent associated media files linked to the posts, but this is not explicitly detailed in the provided code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LATE platform's API.
  • The node communicates with the LATE API at https://getlate.dev/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Requesting pages beyond available data may return empty results.
    • Using unsupported status or platform filters might yield no results.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors indicate invalid or expired API keys; reconfigure credentials.
    • Rate limit errors suggest too many requests in a short time; implement retries or backoff.
    • Validation errors occur if input properties are out of allowed ranges (e.g., limit > 100).
