Overview
The node integrates with the Vista Social platform to retrieve data related to social media posts. Specifically, for the "Post" resource and the "List" operation, it fetches a list of posts filtered by their status. This is useful for scenarios where users want to monitor or analyze posts based on their publication state, such as retrieving all published posts for reporting or fetching drafts for review.
Practical examples include:
- Listing all published posts to generate performance reports.
- Retrieving draft posts to continue editing or scheduling.
- Fetching scheduled posts to verify upcoming content.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Status | The status of the posts to list. Options: Draft, Failed, Published, Rejected, Review, Scheduled |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing an array of posts matching the selected status. Each post object typically contains details such as post content, creation date, status, and other metadata relevant to the post on Vista Social.
If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent media attachments or similar content associated with posts.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Vista Social API.
- Connects to the Vista Social API endpoint at
https://vistasocial.com/api/integration. - The node expects the API to return JSON responses.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Selecting an unsupported or misspelled status value may result in no data or errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys; ensure the correct credential is configured.
- HTTP errors like 4xx or 5xx suggest issues with request parameters or server availability; verify the status parameter and API service status.
- Timeout errors may require checking network stability or increasing timeout settings if configurable.
