Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Facebook. Specifically, the "Get Facebook Profile" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a Facebook profile by providing its URL. This is useful for marketers, researchers, or developers who want to gather public profile data for analysis, monitoring, or integration into other workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Extracting public profile details of a Facebook user or page for lead generation.
- Monitoring competitor profiles for changes or updates.
- Aggregating social media profiles for influencer marketing campaigns.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| URL | The URL of the Facebook profile to be retrieved. This should be a valid Facebook profile link. |
Output
The output of this node is JSON data containing the scraped Facebook profile information. This typically includes public profile details such as name, profile picture, bio, follower count, and other metadata available from the profile page.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would likely relate to images or media associated with the profile, but based on the static analysis, the primary output is structured JSON data representing the profile's public information.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Scrape Creators service, which must be configured in n8n.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint at
https://api.scrapecreators.com. - Proper internet connectivity and valid API credentials are necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid URL: If the provided Facebook profile URL is malformed or does not exist, the node may return an error or empty data. Ensure the URL is correct and publicly accessible.
- API Key Issues: Errors related to authentication usually indicate missing or invalid API keys. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
- Rate Limits: The external API might enforce rate limits; hitting these could cause temporary failures. Consider implementing retry logic or spacing out requests.
- Private Profiles: Profiles with strict privacy settings may not return full data or any data at all.
- Network Errors: Connectivity issues can cause request failures. Check network status and proxy configurations if applicable.
