Monitor Creator Growth in n8n
Self-hosted, scheduled profile tracking across all five supported platforms.
Tracking a creator over time means reading the same public profile fields on a fixed cadence and keeping each observation. Connect KonbiniAPI through n8n's MCP node to run those checks across TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, X, and LinkedIn without maintaining a separate collector.
Before you start
- 1A KonbiniAPI accountThe free plan includes 100 credits, which is enough to run this a few times.
- 2n8n connectedOAuth2 or API key.
- 3A real targetA public account, post, or keyword to run it against — the placeholders below are not live values.
Wire it up.
Each step below is a node or action in n8n. The KonbiniAPI step is an MCP tool call, and it costs the same credits as the matching REST call.
