Interact with Metricool social media management platform

Actions25

Overview

The node integrates with the Metricool social media management platform, enabling users to retrieve and manage social media data programmatically. Specifically, for the Thread resource with the Get Posts operation, it fetches posts from a specified blog within a given date range.

This is useful for scenarios such as:

  • Analyzing post performance or content over time.
  • Aggregating posts data for reporting or further processing.
  • Automating workflows that depend on historical post data from Metricool-managed blogs.

For example, a user might want to pull all posts from their brand's blog between January 1st and January 31st to analyze engagement trends or republish popular content.

Properties

Name Meaning
Blog ID The unique numeric identifier of the Metricool brand account (blog) from which to get 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 output is a JSON array where each item represents a post retrieved from the specified blog within the date range. Each post object contains details as returned by the Metricool API, typically including post content, timestamps, associated social networks, and metadata relevant to the post.

No binary data output is indicated for 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 permissions on the Metricool account to access blog posts data are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Blog ID: Ensure the Blog ID corresponds to an existing Metricool brand account.
    • Date format errors: Dates must be provided in the correct YYYY-MM-DD format.
    • API authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has not expired.
    • Rate limiting or network errors from Metricool API.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown resource: threads": Occurs if the resource parameter is misspelled or unsupported.
    • "Unknown operation: Get Posts": Happens if the operation name does not match expected values.
    • API errors will be passed through; check the error message for details like invalid parameters or permission issues.

To resolve errors, verify input parameters, ensure credentials are correctly set up, and consult Metricool API documentation for any API-specific constraints.
