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 TikTok. Specifically, the "Search TikTok Users" operation allows users to search for TikTok user profiles based on a query string. This is useful for scenarios such as market research, influencer discovery, competitive analysis, or content curation where you want to find TikTok creators matching certain keywords or names.

For example, you could use this node to find TikTok users related to a brand name, topic, or niche by entering a search term and retrieving a list of relevant user profiles.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query The search term or keyword used to find TikTok users. Example: "adrian"
Limit Maximum number of user results to return. Must be at least 1. Default is 50.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the search results of TikTok users matching the query. Each item in the output typically represents a TikTok user profile with details such as username, display name, follower count, and other publicly available metadata.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would likely relate to profile images or media associated with the user profiles.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication errors.
    • Exceeding the allowed rate limit of the API may result in throttling or temporary blocks.
    • Providing an empty or invalid query string might return no results or errors.
    • Setting the limit below 1 will likely cause validation errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured.
    • Rate limit exceeded: Wait and retry later or check your API plan limits.
    • Validation errors on input properties: Ensure "Query" is a non-empty string and "Limit" is a positive number.
