Actions29

Overview

This node integrates with the Sina Weibo API to perform various user-related operations. Specifically, the "Get Profile" operation under the "Users" resource retrieves detailed profile information for a specified user on Sina Weibo. This is useful when you want to fetch public details about a user by their user ID or screen name.

Common scenarios include:

  • Displaying user profile information in dashboards or reports.
  • Enriching data workflows with social media user details.
  • Automating monitoring or analysis of specific users on Sina Weibo.

Example: You can input a user's ID or screen name to get their profile data such as username, description, follower count, and other public metadata.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the user whose profile you want to retrieve.
Screen Name The screen name (username) of the user whose profile you want to retrieve.

You can provide either the User ID or the Screen Name to specify the target user.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the user's profile information as returned by the Sina Weibo API. This typically includes fields such as:

  • User ID
  • Screen name
  • Display name
  • Description or bio
  • Profile image URL
  • Followers count
  • Following count
  • Other public metadata related to the user

The exact structure depends on the Sina Weibo API response for user profiles.

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.
  • Uses the Sina Weibo API via the "N8N Tools Sina Weibo" integration.
  • The node expects proper configuration of credentials that provide access to the Sina Weibo API.
  • Network connectivity to https://api.weibo.com and the N8N Tools API endpoint is required.

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 empty response: Ensure that the provided User ID or Screen Name is correct and corresponds to an existing Sina Weibo user.
  • Rate limiting or API errors: The Sina Weibo API may impose rate limits; if you encounter errors related to request limits, consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
  • Missing credentials warning: If no credentials are found, the node skips validation but may fail later due to lack of authorization. Make sure credentials are set up properly.
