N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Interact with Sina Weibo API

Actions29

Overview

This node enables interaction with the Sina Weibo API specifically for managing comments on posts. The "Create Comment" operation allows users to add a new comment to a specified Weibo post (status). This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate engagement by programmatically posting comments, such as responding to user feedback, moderating discussions, or integrating Weibo comments into broader workflows.

For example, you could use this node to automatically post a thank-you comment when a user mentions your brand, or to add comments based on triggers from other systems like CRM or customer support platforms.

Properties

Name Meaning
Comment Text The text content of the comment to be created.
Status ID The unique identifier of the Weibo post (status) to which the comment will be added.

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object representing the newly created comment as returned by the Sina Weibo API. This typically includes details such as the comment ID, text, creation time, user information, and the associated status ID.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" service to validate subscription and access rights.
  • Uses the Sina Weibo API via a helper class that abstracts API calls.
  • The node expects proper configuration of credentials within n8n to authenticate requests.
  • Network connectivity to https://api.weibo.com and the N8N Tools API endpoint is required.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
  • Missing or incorrect Status ID: Ensure the Status ID corresponds to an existing Weibo post; otherwise, the API will reject the comment creation.
  • Empty Comment Text: Providing an empty comment text may cause the API to return an error; always supply meaningful comment content.
  • API rate limits or network issues: Temporary failures might occur due to rate limiting or connectivity problems; consider implementing retry logic or checking network status.
  • Permission errors: If the authenticated user does not have permission to comment on the specified post, the API will return an authorization error.
