n8n-nodes-insightsocial

An n8n community node for the InsightSocial API:
public data from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Threads, YouTube, Reddit and
Pinterest. Profiles, posts, comments, followers, search and transcripts, through one API key and
one credit balance, priced per call.

The node reads the live endpoint catalogue, so every endpoint, parameter and price appears in
n8n as soon as the API has it. No node update needed.

Install

In n8n: Settings → Community nodes → Install, then enter:

n8n-nodes-insightsocial

Self-hosted from the command line: npm install n8n-nodes-insightsocial in your n8n custom
folder (usually ~/.n8n/custom), then restart n8n.

Credentials

1. Sign in at insightsocial.app and create an API key in the
   portal (API → Keys). Keys start with isk_.
2. In n8n, create an InsightSocial API credential and paste the key. Leave Base URL as it is.
3. Click Test. It calls GET /v1/credits, which is free.

Operations

Call Endpoint options:

• Endpoint: the dropdown shows each endpoint with its price, for example
  Profile (20 credits) or, for TikTok, Post/Comments (20-60 credits, metered).
• Parameters: loaded for the endpoint you picked, with the required ones marked.
• Return All Pages: follows pagination.next_cursor until there are no more pages or
  Max Pages is reached. Every page is a separate, charged call.
• Output: One Item per Row splits list results into one n8n item per row, ready for
  Google Sheets or a CRM. Full Response returns the whole response per page, including
  credits_used and credits_remaining.

The node can also be used as a tool by n8n's AI Agent.

Example: a TikTok account's followers into a sheet

1. Manual Trigger (or Schedule Trigger).
2. InsightSocial: Call Endpoint → Platform TikTok → Endpoint User/Followers (20 credits)
   → handle = nasa. Turn on Return All Pages, Max Pages 2.
3. Google Sheets: Append Row.

Measured on 2026-10-03: 2 pages, 300 followers, 40 credits.

A single profile lookup (/v1/tiktok/profile, handle = nasa) costs 20 credits.

Pricing

• Every endpoint has its own price in credits. Read it in the Endpoint dropdown, or for free at
  GET https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/endpoints.
• Metered endpoints show a range. The top of the range is held when the call starts, and you
  are charged what the call actually used.
• Free: failed calls, empty results, dry_run=1 calls, Get Credits and List Endpoints.
• Every account gets 10 free calls, once, for calls priced at 200 credits or less.
• Repeating a call is charged again, because it can return newer data.
• Plans: Free has 500 credits a month, Pro 10,000. The balance is shared with InsightSocial exports.
  See pricing.
• Rate limits: 60 requests per minute and 10 in flight, per key.

Errors

Errors come back with the API's own type and message, for example
INVALID_REQUEST: ... Missing required parameter(s): one of handle, user_id. or
INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS. A failed call is never charged. Turn on n8n's Continue On Fail to keep
a workflow running past a bad row.
