Scrape Creators

Get real time social media data

Overview

The "Scrape Creators" node provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Pinterest. Specifically, the "Search Pinterest" operation allows users to perform a search query on Pinterest and retrieve relevant pins matching that query. This is useful for gathering content ideas, monitoring trends, or collecting data for marketing and research purposes.

For example, a user might search for "dogs" to collect popular dog-related pins, which can then be analyzed or repurposed in their own content strategy.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query The search term or phrase to look for on Pinterest. Example: "dogs".
Limit The maximum number of search results (pins) to return. Example: 50.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the search results from Pinterest. Each item in the output typically represents a pin matching the search query, including details such as pin description, image URLs, link to the original pin, and other metadata provided by the Pinterest API.

If the node supports binary data output (e.g., images), it would represent the actual pin images or media files, but this is not explicitly detailed in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for accessing the Scrape Creators API service.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.scrapecreators.com with appropriate headers including the API key.
  • No additional environment variables are indicated beyond the API key credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing API key will result in authentication errors.
    • Exceeding the allowed rate limits of the Scrape Creators API may cause request failures.
    • Providing an empty or invalid query string could lead to no results or errors.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify the key is correctly configured.
    • Rate limit exceeded errors suggest waiting before retrying or upgrading the API plan.
    • Validation errors on input properties mean required fields like "Query" or "Limit" are missing or incorrectly formatted.
