Actions25

Overview

The node integrates with the Metricool social media management platform, enabling users to interact with various social media resources and operations. Specifically, for the Facebook resource with the "Get Posts" operation, it retrieves posts from a Facebook account managed via Metricool within a specified date range.

This node is beneficial for social media managers or marketers who want to automate the retrieval of Facebook posts data for analysis, reporting, or further processing in workflows. For example, you can use it to fetch all Facebook posts published between two dates to analyze engagement metrics or to archive content.

Properties

Name Meaning
Blog ID The blog ID of the Metricool brand account associated with the Facebook page.
Start Date The start date (inclusive) for retrieving Facebook posts, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.
End Date The end date (inclusive) for retrieving Facebook posts, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the Facebook posts retrieved from Metricool for the specified blog ID and date range. Each object corresponds to a post and contains its details as provided by the Metricool API.

  • The json output field includes the posts' data such as content, timestamps, and possibly metadata related to each post.
  • There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Metricool API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Metricool API endpoint at https://api.metricool.com/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the Metricool API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect Blog ID may result in empty or error responses.
    • Date format errors in Start Date or End Date could lead to request failures.
    • Network connectivity issues might prevent reaching the Metricool API.

  • Error Messages:

    • "Unknown resource: facebook": This would indicate a misconfiguration or unsupported resource selection.
    • "Unknown post operation: Get Posts": If the operation name does not match expected values, this error appears.
    • API errors returned from Metricool (e.g., unauthorized, bad request) will be surfaced and should be checked against the API documentation.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
    • Ensure the Blog ID corresponds to a valid Metricool brand account.
    • Use correct date formats (YYYY-MM-DD) for start and end dates.
    • Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
