Upload Post

Upload content to social media via Upload-Post API

Overview

This node integrates with the Upload-Post API to manage social media content and user profiles. Specifically, for the User resource and Delete User operation, it deletes an existing user profile identified by a profile name from the Upload-Post platform.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating user management workflows by programmatically removing obsolete or unwanted user profiles.
  • Cleaning up user accounts in bulk as part of administrative tasks.
  • Integrating user deletion into larger automation pipelines that manage social media profiles.

Practical example:

  • A marketing team uses n8n to automate their social media presence. When a team member leaves, their Upload-Post user profile can be deleted automatically using this node to prevent further posts under that profile.

Properties

Name Meaning
User to Delete Profile name to delete (required). This is the identifier of the user profile on Upload-Post that will be removed.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Upload-Post API after attempting to delete the specified user. The structure typically includes success status and any relevant messages returned by the API.

Example output JSON structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "User deleted successfully",
  "username": "profile_name"
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Upload-Post API to authenticate requests.
  • The node makes HTTP DELETE requests to the Upload-Post API endpoint /uploadposts/users with the username to delete.
  • No additional environment variables are required beyond the API key credential configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent profile name will likely result in an error or failure message from the API.
    • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Invalid API key": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • "User not found" or similar: Verify the profile name is correct and exists on the Upload-Post platform.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the Upload-Post API service is reachable.
