Scrape Creators

Get real time social media data

Overview

The "Scrape Creators" node provides real-time social media data by scraping various platforms through a unified API. Specifically, the "Get TruthSocial Profile" operation retrieves profile information from Truth Social based on a user handle. This is useful for monitoring public profiles, gathering social media insights, or integrating Truth Social data into workflows without direct API access.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching profile details of influencers or public figures on Truth Social.
  • Automating social media monitoring and reporting.
  • Enriching CRM or marketing databases with Truth Social profile data.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
