Google Analytics

Use the Google Analytics API

Actions84

Overview

This node integrates with the Google Analytics API, specifically supporting a wide range of administrative and data management operations across different versions (v1alpha, v1beta) and resource types. The selected Resource "Admin (V1Alpha) - Account Access Binding" with the Operation "Batch Update Account Access Bindings" allows users to update multiple account access bindings in batch mode.

Use cases include managing user permissions and access controls for Google Analytics accounts efficiently by updating several access bindings at once rather than individually. This is particularly useful for administrators who need to maintain or modify access rights for multiple users simultaneously, ensuring consistent and streamlined permission management.

Example scenario: An admin wants to update roles or permissions for a group of users on a specific Google Analytics account. Instead of updating each access binding one by one, they can use this batch update operation to apply changes collectively, saving time and reducing errors.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account ID The unique identifier of the Google Analytics account where access bindings are managed.
Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine or control the request, including:
- Calculated Metric ID: ID for calculated metrics
- Entity: Level of data access report (property or account level)
- Filter: Expression to filter results
- Names: Names of access bindings to retrieve
- Page Size: Maximum number of report tasks to return
- Page Token: Token for pagination
- Show Deleted: Whether to include soft-deleted properties
- Universal Analytics Property ID: UA property to look up connected GA4 property
- Update Mask: List of fields to update (in snake case)
Request Body JSON object containing the batch update details for the account access bindings. This should specify the updates to be applied to multiple access bindings in the batch.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to the response from the Google Analytics API for the batch update request. The structure of each JSON object matches the API's response schema for batch updating account access bindings, typically including updated access binding information or status messages.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an OAuth2 credential configured for Google Analytics API access.
  • The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API endpoint https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha.
  • Proper permissions must be granted to the OAuth2 token to perform batch updates on account access bindings.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that a valid OAuth2 credential for Google Analytics API is configured and selected.
  • Required Parameter Errors: Errors like "Account ID is required" indicate missing mandatory input parameters. Verify that the Account ID and other required IDs are provided.
  • API Errors: Errors returned from the Google Analytics API will be wrapped and shown as "Error calling Google Analytics API" with the original message. Check the API documentation for error codes and messages.
  • Invalid JSON in Request Body: Ensure the JSON provided in the Request Body is well-formed and matches the expected schema for batch updates.
  • Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions in the OAuth2 token may cause authorization errors. Confirm that the token has the necessary scopes for managing access bindings.
