Overview
This node allows you to interact with a social media management backend called Apex, specifically to retrieve detailed information about a tweet by its ID. The "Get Tweet by ID" operation fetches the full details of a specific tweet using the tweet's unique identifier found in its URL.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Retrieving metadata and content of a particular tweet for analysis or display.
- Automating workflows that require fetching tweet details based on user input or other triggers.
- Integrating tweet data into dashboards, reports, or other applications.
For example, you might use this node to get the details of a tweet when a user submits a tweet URL, then process or store that information elsewhere.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tweet ID | The unique identifier of the tweet to retrieve (found in the tweet's URL). This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested tweet. This typically includes all available metadata such as tweet text, author info, timestamps, engagement metrics, and possibly media attachments.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Apex backend service.
- The node sends a GET request to the endpoint:
https://apex-backend-435707161213.us-west1.run.app/apex/tweet/{tweetId}/detailswhere{tweetId}is replaced by the provided Tweet ID. - Ensure the API key credential is properly configured in n8n to allow authorized access.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Tweet ID: If the Tweet ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the Tweet ID from the tweet URL.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API key credentials will cause authorization failures. Confirm the API key is set up correctly.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Apex backend URL can cause timeouts or errors. Check network access and endpoint availability.
- Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the backend service. Review API usage limits if applicable.
