Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" is designed to fetch real-time social media data from various platforms, including LinkedIn. Specifically, for the LinkedIn resource with the "Get LinkedIn Post" operation, it retrieves information about a LinkedIn post based on a provided URL. This node is useful for scenarios where users want to programmatically extract details of specific LinkedIn posts for analysis, monitoring, or content aggregation.
Practical examples include:
- Marketing teams tracking engagement and content of competitor LinkedIn posts.
- Social media analysts collecting data for sentiment or trend analysis.
- Content curators aggregating posts from LinkedIn profiles or company pages.
Properties

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the details of the LinkedIn post specified by the URL. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as post content, author information, timestamps, engagement metrics (likes, comments), and possibly media attachments.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the code snippet), it would likely represent media content associated with the post, such as images or videos.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Scrape Creators API service.
- The node makes HTTP requests to
https://api.scrapecreators.comusing this API key. - Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing URL: Ensure the URL property is correctly set to a valid LinkedIn post URL.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- API rate limits or quota exceeded: The external API may limit the number of requests; check your plan and usage.
- Unexpected API responses: If the LinkedIn post URL is private, deleted, or restricted, the API might return errors or empty data.
- Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to
api.scrapecreators.com.
