Overview
This node integrates with the Metricool social media management platform to retrieve LinkedIn posts within a specified date range for a given blog (brand) account. It is useful for users who want to analyze or process their LinkedIn content programmatically, such as fetching historical posts for reporting, analytics, or further automation workflows.
A practical example would be automatically gathering all LinkedIn posts published between two dates to generate performance reports or to republish content on other platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blog ID | The unique numeric identifier of the Metricool brand account (blog) from which to fetch posts. |
| Start Date | The start date (inclusive) for retrieving posts, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| End Date | The end date (inclusive) for retrieving posts, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing LinkedIn posts retrieved from Metricool. Each object corresponds to a post and contains details as provided by the Metricool API, such as post content, publication date, and possibly engagement metrics.
No binary data output is indicated in the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Metricool API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Metricool API endpoint at
https://api.metricool.com/v1. - Proper configuration of the Metricool account and access rights to the specified blog ID are necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Providing an incorrect blog ID may result in empty results or errors.
- Date format errors (not using YYYY-MM-DD) can lead to request failures.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
Error Messages:
"Unknown resource: linkedin"or"Unknown operation: getPosts"indicates a misconfiguration of resource or operation parameters.- API errors returned from Metricool will be surfaced; check the error message for details.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has required permissions.
- Double-check the blog ID and ensure it exists in your Metricool account.
- Ensure date inputs follow the required format.
- Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle partial failures gracefully.
