n8n Workflow: RapidAPI Social Search to Google Sheets

RapidAPI Social Search → Google Sheets, fully automated in n8n

Run this on-demand n8n workflow to search a keyword across Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook (posts, pages, events), TikTok, and YouTube using RapidAPI—then automatically append the top results into separate tabs in your Google Sheets.

What this workflow does

• Manual start & keyword input: You launch the workflow and set the search keyword used for all platform lookups.
• Reddit search: Uses RapidAPI to format up to 20 matching posts (or writes a “no results” row) and appends them to the Reddit Search tab.
• Twitter/X search: Queries RapidAPI for matching tweets, constructs tweet URLs as needed, formats up to 20 results (or a “no results” row), and appends them to the Twitter/X tab.
• Facebook search: Searches via RapidAPI for posts, pages, and events, formatting up to 20 results per endpoint (or “no results”) and appending each dataset to its corresponding tab.
• Rate-friendly pause: Waits 61 seconds before continuing to TikTok.
• TikTok search: Pulls up to 20 video results via RapidAPI (or “no results”) and appends them to the TikTok tab.
• YouTube search: Queries RapidAPI, constructs video URLs when needed, formats up to 20 results (or “no results”), and appends them to the YouTube tab.

Use cases

• Competitive research: track brand or product mentions across multiple platforms and export results to Google Sheets.
• Campaign monitoring: collect recent social findings for a keyword and keep a structured dataset for analysis.
• SaaS/operator reporting: refresh a spreadsheet-backed social insights table on demand.
