Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including TikTok. Specifically, the "Get Profile's Videos" operation for the TikTok resource retrieves a list of videos posted by a specified TikTok user handle. This is useful for scenarios such as social media analytics, content aggregation, influencer marketing research, or competitive analysis where you want to gather recent video content from a TikTok profile.
For example, a marketer could use this node to fetch the latest 50 videos from a competitor’s TikTok account to analyze content trends and engagement strategies.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Handle | The TikTok username (handle) of the user whose videos you want to retrieve, without the '@' symbol. Example: stoolpresidente. |
| Limit | The maximum number of video results to return. Must be at least 1. Example: 50. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the list of videos retrieved from the specified TikTok profile. Each item in the output typically includes details about individual videos such as video ID, description, statistics (likes, comments, shares), video URL, thumbnail, and other metadata relevant to each TikTok video.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would likely represent video files or thumbnails, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON with video information.
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 errors.
- Providing an incorrect or non-existent TikTok handle may result in empty results or errors.
- Exceeding rate limits imposed by the Scrape Creators API can lead to request failures.
- Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate problems with the API key; verify that the key is correctly set up.
- "User not found" or similar errors suggest the handle does not exist or is misspelled.
- Network or timeout errors may require checking connectivity or retrying later.
