N8N Tools Sina Weibo

Overview

The "Follow User" operation in the Sina Weibo node allows you to follow a specific user on the Sina Weibo social media platform. This is useful for automating social engagement workflows, such as automatically following users based on certain criteria or integrating with other systems to manage your social network connections.

For example, you might use this node to:

• Automatically follow new users who mention your brand.
• Build a list of followed users based on external data sources.
• Integrate with marketing automation tools to manage social interactions.

Properties

You can specify either the User ID or the Screen Name to identify the user you want to follow.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Sina Weibo API after attempting to follow the specified user. It typically includes details about the follow action's success or failure and may contain user information or status messages returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" to validate subscription and access rights.
• Uses the Sina Weibo API via a helper class that handles API requests.
• The node expects proper configuration of credentials that provide access to the Sina Weibo API.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API key credential is correctly configured and active.
• User not found or invalid user identifier: Ensure that the User ID or Screen Name provided corresponds to an existing Sina Weibo user.
• Network or API errors: Check your network connection and Sina Weibo API availability.
• Permission issues: Make sure the authenticated account has permission to follow other users.
