Overview
This node interacts with the TexAu Cloud platform to manage social accounts, specifically allowing users to assign a proxy to a social account. Assigning a proxy is useful when you want to route the social account's network traffic through a specific proxy server for privacy, geo-location testing, or to avoid IP bans.
Typical use cases include:
- Managing multiple social media accounts with different proxies to prevent detection.
- Automating social account actions while masking the original IP address.
- Testing social account behavior from various geographic locations by assigning region-specific proxies.
For example, if you have a social media automation workflow, you can use this node operation to assign a proxy to a particular social account before performing actions like posting or scraping.
Properties
Name | Meaning |
---|---|
Account ID | The unique identifier of the social account to which the proxy will be assigned. |
Proxy ID | The unique identifier of the proxy that will be assigned to the specified social account. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the proxy assignment operation on the social account. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated social account information with the newly assigned proxy.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active API key credential for authenticating requests to the TexAu Cloud API.
- The node sends a PUT request to the endpoint
/api/v1/public/social-accounts/{AccountID}/proxy
with the proxy ID in the request body. - Network connectivity to
https://v2-prod-api.texau.com
is required.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Account ID or Proxy ID: If either ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs are correct and correspond to existing resources.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is properly configured in n8n.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the TexAu API endpoint will cause request failures. Check your internet connection and any firewall settings.
- Permission Denied: If the API key lacks permissions to modify social accounts or assign proxies, the operation will fail. Confirm the API key has sufficient privileges.
