N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Interact with Sina Weibo API

Overview

This node integrates with the Sina Weibo API to retrieve posts where the authenticated user is mentioned. The "Get Mentions" operation under the "Posts" resource fetches a list of posts that mention the user, which can be useful for monitoring interactions, tracking engagement, or responding to mentions on the social media platform.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically collecting all mentions of your brand or profile to analyze sentiment or respond promptly.
  • Aggregating mentions for reporting or customer service workflows.
  • Triggering notifications or further automation when new mentions appear.

Properties

Name Meaning
Count Number of mention posts to return.
Page Page number of results to retrieve (for pagination).

These properties allow you to control how many mention posts are fetched and which page of results to access.

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects, each representing a mention post retrieved from Sina Weibo. Each item corresponds to one mention and contains the full data structure as returned by the Weibo API for a post, including details such as post content, author, timestamps, and metadata.

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 internally.
  • The node expects proper configuration of credentials in n8n for authentication with the external services.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
  • API validation failure: Network issues or incorrect API URLs can cause validation failures; ensure connectivity and correct endpoint settings.
  • Unknown operation error: This indicates a misconfiguration of the operation parameter; confirm that "getMentions" is selected under the "Posts" resource.
  • Pagination issues: If no results are returned, check that the "Page" and "Count" parameters are set appropriately and that there are mentions available.
