Overview
This node interacts with the Mastodon API, specifically focusing on the "Account" resource and the "Get Featured Tags" operation. It retrieves the featured tags associated with a specified Mastodon account. This can be useful for social media managers or developers who want to analyze or display the prominent tags an account highlights on their profile.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching featured tags of a user to display on a dashboard.
- Monitoring trending topics or interests highlighted by specific accounts.
- Integrating Mastodon account metadata into other applications or workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Mastodon URL | The URL of the Mastodon instance to connect to (e.g., https://mastodon.social). |
| Account ID | The unique identifier of the Mastodon account whose featured tags you want to retrieve. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing the featured tags of the specified Mastodon account. Each tag typically includes details such as the tag name and possibly additional metadata related to how it is featured on the account.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to access the Mastodon API.
- Needs the URL of the Mastodon instance to connect to.
- The node depends on the Mastodon API being accessible and the provided account ID being valid.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Mastodon URL may cause connection failures.
- Incorrect or non-existent Account ID will result in errors or empty results.
- Authentication failures if the API token is invalid or expired.
Error messages:
"The operation "getAccountFeaturedTags" for resource "account" is not implemented!"indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation.- Network or API errors usually return messages from the Mastodon API; ensure credentials and URLs are correct.
Resolutions:
- Verify the Mastodon instance URL is correct and reachable.
- Confirm the Account ID exists on the given Mastodon instance.
- Check that the API authentication token is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully during workflow execution.
