Overview
The "Scrape Creators" node provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Facebook. Specifically, the "Get Facebook Profile Posts" operation allows users to retrieve posts from a specified Facebook profile URL. This is useful for monitoring public content on Facebook profiles, gathering data for analytics, or aggregating posts for marketing and research purposes.
Practical examples:
- A marketer wants to track the latest posts from competitor Facebook profiles.
- A researcher collects public posts from specific Facebook profiles for sentiment analysis.
- A social media manager aggregates posts from brand profiles to monitor engagement trends.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| URL | The URL of the Facebook profile from which to scrape posts. |
| Limit | Maximum number of posts to return. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the scraped Facebook profile posts. Each item in the output typically represents a single post with details such as post content, timestamp, author information, and possibly engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares). The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes all relevant post metadata.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Scrape Creators service.
- The node sends requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint at
https://api.scrapecreators.com. - Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
- Providing an incorrect or inaccessible Facebook profile URL may result in empty or error responses.
- Exceeding rate limits imposed by the Scrape Creators API can lead to temporary blocking.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify the key and its permissions.
- "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the provided Facebook profile URL is invalid or private.
- Rate limit errors require waiting before retrying or contacting the API provider for higher limits.
