N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Interact with Sina Weibo API

Overview

This node integrates with the Sina Weibo API via the N8N Tools API to perform various operations related to social media posts, comments, users, and search functionalities on the Weibo platform. Specifically, for the "Posts" resource and the "Add Favorite" operation, the node allows users to add a specific post to their favorites list on Weibo.

This functionality is useful in scenarios where you want to automate marking posts as favorites based on certain triggers or workflows, such as saving important posts for later review, tracking trending content, or curating content collections automatically.

Example use case: Automatically add a post to your favorites when it matches a keyword or comes from a particular user, enabling easy retrieval and engagement later.

Properties

Name Meaning
Post ID The unique identifier of the post to be added to favorites

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Add Favorite" operation on the specified post. This typically includes confirmation details about the favorited post, such as its ID and status after the operation.

If an error occurs during the operation, the output JSON will contain an error field with the error message.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the N8N Tools API with a valid API key credential.
  • Requires connection to the Sina Weibo API through the N8N Tools API service.
  • The node expects the user to configure credentials that provide:
    • An API URL endpoint for the N8N Tools API.
    • An API key for authentication.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond these credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
  • Unknown operation error: This can occur if an unsupported operation name is used; ensure the operation parameter is set to "addFavorite" for this use case.
  • Post ID missing or incorrect: Ensure the "Post ID" property is provided and corresponds to a valid post on Weibo.
  • API request failures: Network issues or API rate limits may cause errors; check connectivity and API usage quotas.
  • Continue on Fail: If enabled, the node will output error messages per item instead of stopping execution, which helps in batch processing scenarios.
