N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Interact with Sina Weibo API

Overview

This node integrates with the Sina Weibo API to perform various operations related to social media posts, comments, users, and search functionalities. Specifically for the Posts resource and the Repost Post operation, it allows users to repost an existing post on Sina Weibo.

A common use case for this node is automating social media workflows where reposting content is needed, such as sharing trending posts, amplifying messages, or managing multiple accounts programmatically.

For example, you could set up a workflow that listens for certain triggers (like new posts matching a keyword) and automatically reposts them to your account, increasing engagement without manual intervention.

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object representing the result of the repost action. This typically includes details about the reposted post such as its ID, content, timestamps, and metadata returned by the Sina Weibo API.

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 indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
  • Unknown operation error: Ensure the operation name is correctly set to "repostPost" when using the Posts resource.
  • Network or API errors: These may occur if the Sina Weibo API is unreachable or rate limits are exceeded. Check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
  • Missing Post ID: The "Post ID" property must be provided; otherwise, the node will fail to identify which post to repost.
