Overview
This node interacts with the Mastodon API to perform various actions related to Mastodon social networking features. Specifically, for the Blocks resource and the Unblock Account operation, it allows users to remove a block on a specified Mastodon account. This is useful when you want to reverse a previous block action and allow interactions with that account again.
Common scenarios include:
- Managing your Mastodon account's block list programmatically.
- Automating moderation workflows where accounts are unblocked after review.
- Integrating Mastodon account management into broader automation pipelines.
Example: Unblocking a user by their account ID on a specific Mastodon instance URL.
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 to unblock. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the unblock operation. Typically, this will be the updated account information or confirmation of the unblock action as returned by the Mastodon API.
If multiple input items are processed, the output will be an array of JSON objects corresponding to each unblock request.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the Mastodon instance.
- Needs network access to the specified Mastodon instance URL.
- The node depends on the Mastodon API endpoints for managing blocks.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Account ID: If the provided account ID does not exist or is malformed, the Mastodon API may return an error. Verify the account ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to manage blocks.
- Instance URL Issues: Confirm the Mastodon URL is reachable and correctly formatted (including protocol).
- Operation Not Implemented: If the operation or resource is misspelled or unsupported, the node will throw an error indicating the operation/resource is not implemented.
- Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing remaining items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
