Use the Contentsquare API

Actions76

Overview

This node integrates with the Contentsquare API, specifically enabling access to the Speed Analysis API's "Get Scenario Report" operation. It allows users to retrieve detailed performance reports for specific scenarios analyzed by Contentsquare’s speed analysis tools. This is useful for monitoring web page load times, identifying slowdowns, and benchmarking against competitors.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching scenario performance reports to analyze user experience on different devices.
  • Automating performance monitoring workflows by retrieving scenario reports regularly.
  • Integrating scenario report data into dashboards or other analytics platforms.

For example, a user can configure this node to request a scenario report filtered by device type (e.g., mobile), date range, and other parameters to understand how their website performs under various conditions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Parameters Collection of optional filters and settings to customize the scenario report request:
- Device Filter by device type: All, Desktop, Mobile, Tablet
- End Date End of the date range for analysis (must be after Start Date)
- Format Format of the query date range (string)
- Frequency Filter based on export frequency
- From Filter based on export format
- Goal ID Return conversion metrics for a non-ecommerce goal (number)
- IDs Comma-separated list of segment IDs to filter results
- Limit Maximum number of results to return (default 50)
- Metric Type Metric aggregation type: Quantile or Average
- Order Sort order of results: Ascending or Descending
- Page Page number of results to retrieve
- Period Granularity of results: Daily or None (only for date ranges larger than one day)
- Project ID Target project ID (required only for account-level API keys)
- Quantile Percentile used if metric type is Quantile (default 75)
- Scope Filter based on scope
- Segment IDs Multiple segments separated by commas for intersection filtering
- Start Date Beginning of date range for analysis (must be before End Date)
- State Filter based on status
- To End date of the query date range
Request Body JSON object for additional request body data (optional, depending on operation)

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Contentsquare Speed Analysis API scenario report endpoint. The structure depends on the API response but typically includes detailed metrics and performance data about the requested scenario(s).

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would represent raw report files or HAR files related to the scenario analysis.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token obtained via OAuth2 client credentials flow using a Client ID and Client Secret.
  • Needs a valid Contentsquare API endpoint URL returned during authentication.
  • Requires configuration of an API key credential in n8n with appropriate permissions for the Speed Analysis API.
  • Network access to https://api.contentsquare.com is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Client ID or Client Secret: The node will throw an error if these credentials are not provided. Ensure your API credentials are correctly configured.
  • Failed to retrieve access token or endpoint: Indicates issues with authentication; verify that the client credentials and scopes are correct.
  • Required parameter missing errors: For example, "Job ID is required" or "Page Group ID is required" errors occur if mandatory parameters for certain operations are not set.
  • API call failures: Errors returned from the API will be wrapped and shown as "Error calling Contentsquare API". Check the message and stack trace for details.
  • Empty or malformed responses: If the API returns empty or invalid JSON, the node attempts to handle it gracefully but may output a "204 No Content" status.
