Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including TikTok. Specifically, the "Get TikTok Video" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a TikTok video by providing its URL. This is useful for scenarios such as content analysis, marketing research, or archiving video metadata from TikTok without manual browsing.
Practical examples include:
- Extracting video details like description, author, and statistics for influencer marketing.
- Archiving TikTok video metadata for content management systems.
- Analyzing trending videos by fetching their data programmatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| URL | The URL of the TikTok video to fetch. Example: https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente/video/7515167006698573099 |
Output
The output JSON contains the scraped data related to the specified TikTok video. This typically includes metadata such as video description, author information, engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares), and possibly video URLs or thumbnails.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would likely represent the actual video file or thumbnail images.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Scrape Creators service.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint at
https://api.scrapecreators.com. - Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has the required permissions.
- Incorrect video URL format: Verify that the TikTok video URL is valid and publicly accessible.
- API rate limits or quota exceeded: The external service may limit the number of requests; check your subscription plan.
- Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the Scrape Creators API endpoint.
Common error messages will generally relate to authentication failures, invalid input URLs, or network timeouts. Resolving these involves checking credentials, input correctness, and network connectivity.
