Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the TikTok API after attempting to follow the specified user. The structure typically includes details about the success or failure of the follow action, such as confirmation status or error messages.
If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error object describing the issue for each failed item.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the N8N Tools API service.
- Requires TikTok API credentials configured in N8N to authorize requests.
- The node internally validates the API key subscription before executing operations.
- Network access to the N8N Tools API endpoint and TikTok API is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API key credential is correct and active.
- TikTok API Errors: Errors returned from TikTok (e.g., invalid Open ID, rate limits) will be surfaced. Check the Open ID value and ensure the authenticated account has permission to follow the target user.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the external APIs can cause failures; ensure stable internet access.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: When enabled, errors for individual items do not stop execution but are included in the output for review.
