Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Reddit. Specifically, the "Get Post Comments" operation under the Reddit resource allows users to retrieve comments from a specified Reddit post URL. This is useful for social media analysts, marketers, or developers who want to monitor discussions, gather user feedback, or analyze sentiment on particular Reddit posts.
Practical examples:
- Extracting user comments from a viral Reddit post to analyze public opinion.
- Monitoring community engagement on product announcement posts.
- Collecting data for sentiment analysis or trend detection based on Reddit discussions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Limit | Max number of comment results to return. |
| URL | The URL of the Reddit post from which to fetch comments. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved comments from the specified Reddit post. Each item in the output typically represents a single comment with its associated metadata (such as author, content, timestamp). If the node supports binary data output, it would be related to any media attached to comments, but this is not indicated here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Scrape Creators service.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint (
https://api.scrapecreators.com). - Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary for authentication.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
- Providing an incorrect or malformed Reddit post URL may result in no comments being returned or errors.
- Exceeding the limit parameter beyond allowed API constraints might cause request rejection.
Error messages and resolutions:
- Authentication error: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
- Invalid URL or no comments found: Ensure the URL points to a valid Reddit post and that the post has comments.
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded: Check API usage limits and reduce request frequency or limit size.
