Overview
The "Get User Following" operation in the Users resource of this Pinterest Enhanced node retrieves a paginated list of users that a specified user is following on Pinterest. This operation is useful for workflows that need to analyze or interact with the social graph of a Pinterest user, such as building follower networks, monitoring influencer connections, or aggregating content from followed users.
For example, you might use this operation to:
- Fetch all users followed by a particular Pinterest user to analyze their interests or influence.
- Automate notifications or actions based on changes in a user's following list.
- Integrate Pinterest social data into CRM or marketing platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| User ID | The ID or username of the Pinterest user whose following list you want to retrieve. |
| Page Size | Number of items (users) to return per page. Can be set between 1 and 250. |
| Cursor | Pagination cursor token to fetch the next page of results. |
| Include Private Metrics | Boolean flag to include private metrics in the response (requires elevated access). |
| Custom Fields | Comma-separated list of additional custom fields to include in the response. |
Output
The output json field contains an object representing the list of users that the specified user is following. It includes standard user information and any requested custom fields. The response supports pagination via cursors, allowing retrieval of large following lists in multiple requests.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for the external N8N Tools API service.
- Requires OAuth2 authentication credentials for Pinterest API access.
- The node internally uses helper classes to interact with various Pinterest API endpoints.
- Proper subscription and API key validation are performed before executing the operation.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API key credential is correct and active.
- Permission Errors: Including private metrics requires elevated access; if unauthorized errors occur, check your Pinterest API permissions.
- Pagination Issues: When using the cursor property, ensure it is correctly passed from previous responses to paginate through results.
- User Not Found: If the specified User ID or username does not exist, the API will return an error; verify the input value.
- Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
