Overview
This node integrates with the Pinterest API v5 via the N8N Tools service, providing enhanced access to Pinterest's features within n8n workflows. Specifically, the Users - Get User operation retrieves detailed information about a specified Pinterest user by their user ID or username.
Use cases include:
- Fetching profile details of a Pinterest user for analytics or reporting.
- Integrating Pinterest user data into CRM or marketing automation workflows.
- Enriching datasets with Pinterest user metrics and custom fields.
Example: You want to get public and optionally private metrics of a Pinterest user to analyze their engagement and follower stats in your marketing dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| User ID | The unique identifier or username of the Pinterest user to retrieve. |
| 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 user data response. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the retrieved user data from Pinterest. The structure depends on the fields requested but generally includes:
- Basic user profile information (e.g., id, username, name).
- Public metrics such as follower count, pins count, etc.
- Optionally, private metrics if requested and authorized.
- Any additional custom fields specified.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for the N8N Tools API service, including an API key credential.
- Requires Pinterest OAuth2 authentication credentials to access Pinterest API endpoints.
- The node validates the subscription and API key before executing operations.
- No additional environment variables are needed beyond configured credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key error: If you receive an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that your N8N Tools API credentials are correct and active.
- Permission errors when requesting private metrics: Including private metrics requires elevated access; ensure your Pinterest OAuth2 credentials have the necessary permissions.
- User not found or invalid User ID: Confirm that the provided User ID or username exists and is correctly formatted.
- API rate limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by Pinterest or N8N Tools API; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
- Network or connectivity issues: Ensure your n8n instance can reach the external APIs without firewall restrictions.
