Description

n8n-nodes-insightsocial

An n8n community node for the InsightSocial API:
public data from TikTok, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, 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

| Operation | What it does | Cost |
| — | — | — |
| Call Endpoint | Pick a platform and an endpoint, fill its parameters, get the data | The endpoint’s price |
| Get Credits | Your balance and this month’s usage | Free |
| List Endpoints | Every endpoint on a platform, with parameters and price | Free |

Call Endpoint options:

• Endpoint: the dropdown shows each endpoint with its price, for example

Profile (10 credits) or, for TikTok, Post/Comments (10-30 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
creditsused and creditsremaining.

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 (10 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. At today’s prices that is 20 credits.

A single profile lookup (/v1/tiktok/profile, handle = nasa) costs 10 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 100 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
INVALIDREQUEST: ... Missing required parameter(s): one of handle, userid. 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.
