Apex

Overview

This node allows you to post a reply to an existing tweet by specifying the tweet's ID and the reply text. It is useful for automating social media interactions, such as responding to customer inquiries, engaging with followers, or managing conversations on Twitter programmatically.

Practical examples:

• Automatically replying to tweets mentioning your brand.
• Posting follow-up comments in a Twitter thread.
• Integrating Twitter replies into a customer support workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the posted reply tweet. This typically includes details such as the reply's ID, text content, timestamp, and metadata returned from the API after successfully posting the reply.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Apex backend service.
• The node sends HTTP POST requests to the Apex API endpoint to post replies.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Tweet ID: Ensure the Tweet ID is correctly extracted from the tweet URL.
  • Empty or invalid reply text: The reply text must be non-empty and comply with Twitter's character limits.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
  • Network or API errors: Check connectivity and Apex API status.

• Error messages:

  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check API credentials.
  • "Tweet not found" or "Invalid Tweet ID": Confirm the Tweet ID exists and is accessible.
  • "Text field is required": Provide a non-empty reply text.
  • Rate limiting errors: Respect API usage limits or add retry logic.
