Overview
This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically supporting a wide range of administrative and data management operations across different versions (v1alpha, v1beta) and data types. For the selected resource "Admin (V1Alpha) - Calculated Metric" and operation "List Calculated Metrics," it lists all calculated metrics defined within a specified Google Analytics property.
Use cases include:
- Retrieving all calculated metrics for a given property to analyze or audit custom metrics.
- Automating reporting workflows that require fetching metric definitions.
- Integrating Google Analytics calculated metrics into broader data pipelines or dashboards.
Example: You want to get a list of all calculated metrics configured in your GA4 property to verify their setup or use them in further analysis.

No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 credential for Google Analytics API authentication.
- The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API endpoints, specifically the v1alpha version for calculated metrics.
- Proper permissions on the Google Analytics property are necessary to list calculated metrics.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure you have configured and selected valid OAuth2 credentials with appropriate scopes.
- Required Parameter Errors: Errors like "Property ID is required" indicate missing mandatory inputs; verify that the Property ID is provided.
- API Request Failures: Errors returned from the Google Analytics API will be surfaced with messages prefixed by "Error calling Google Analytics API." Check the error message and stack trace for details.
- Pagination Issues: When retrieving large sets of calculated metrics, use the Page Size and Page Token query parameters to paginate through results properly.
