Interact with Metricool social media management platform

Actions25

Overview

The Metricool node integrates with the Metricool social media management platform, enabling users to retrieve and manage social media data across multiple networks. Specifically, the Analytics > Get Metrics operation allows users to fetch performance metrics for various supported social media networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and others.

This node is beneficial for social media managers, marketers, and analysts who want to automate the retrieval of analytics data from different platforms in a unified workflow. For example, you can use it to gather engagement statistics, follower growth, or post-performance metrics from Instagram or Twitter to generate reports or trigger further automation based on these insights.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects containing the requested metrics data from the selected social media network. Each item corresponds to the metrics retrieved for one input item processed by the node.

  • The exact structure of the JSON output depends on the specific network's metrics returned by the Metricool API.
  • No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Metricool API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the Metricool API base URL https://api.metricool.com/v1.
  • Proper API authentication credentials must be set up in n8n to authorize requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Selecting an unsupported or incorrect network value may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown resource: analytics" or "Unknown operation: getMetrics" indicates misconfiguration of resource or operation parameters.
    • API error messages from Metricool (e.g., rate limits, invalid parameters) will be passed through; check the API documentation for resolution.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Ensure the "Network" property is set to one of the supported options.
    • Check internet connectivity and Metricool service status if requests fail.
