N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Interact with Sina Weibo API

Actions29

Overview

This node integrates with the Sina Weibo API to interact with public posts on the platform. Specifically, the "Get Public Timeline" operation retrieves a list of recent public posts from all users on Weibo. This is useful for monitoring trending content, gathering social media insights, or displaying a live feed of public posts in an application or workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Aggregating the latest public posts for sentiment analysis.
  • Displaying a real-time public timeline feed on a dashboard.
  • Collecting data for social media marketing campaigns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Count Number of items (posts) to return from the public timeline. Default is 20.
Page Page number of results to retrieve, allowing pagination through the public timeline.

Output

The output is a JSON array where each item corresponds to a single public post retrieved from the Sina Weibo public timeline. Each JSON object contains the details of a post as returned by the Weibo API, such as post content, author information, 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.
  • The node uses the Sina Weibo API endpoints via the N8N Tools API proxy.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

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.
  • API validation failure: Network issues or incorrect API endpoint URLs can cause validation failures. Ensure network connectivity and correct credential setup.
  • Unknown operation error: This occurs if an unsupported operation name is used. Confirm that the operation parameter is set to "getPublicTimeline" for this use case.
  • Empty or incomplete results: Check the "Count" and "Page" parameters to ensure they are within valid ranges and that the Weibo API has available data for those pages.
