Google Analytics

Use the Google Analytics API

Actions84

Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically supporting a wide range of administrative and data management operations across different Google Analytics resources. For the selected resource "Admin (V1Alpha) - Event Edit Rule" and operation "Get Event Edit Rule," the node retrieves details about a specific event edit rule within a data stream of a Google Analytics property.

Use cases include managing and auditing event edit rules that modify or filter events collected in Google Analytics data streams. This is useful for analytics administrators who want to programmatically fetch configuration details of event edit rules to review or automate workflows involving event data processing.

Example: Fetching an event edit rule by its ID to verify its settings or to use its data in further automation or reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Property ID The identifier of the Google Analytics property containing the data stream.
Data Stream ID The identifier of the data stream within the property where the event edit rule exists.
Event Edit Rule ID The unique identifier of the event edit rule to retrieve.
Query Parameters Optional additional parameters to filter or paginate results (not typically used here).

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the retrieved event edit rule's details from the Google Analytics API. This includes all properties and configurations of the event edit rule as defined by the API response.

The node does not output binary data; it returns structured JSON data corresponding to the event edit rule resource.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Google Analytics API OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n.
  • Uses the Google Analytics Admin API v1alpha endpoint (https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha).
  • The node requires network access to Google's APIs.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that OAuth2 credentials for Google Analytics are properly set up and connected.
  • Required Parameter Missing: Errors like "Property ID is required," "Data Stream ID is required," or "Event Edit Rule ID is required" indicate that these mandatory inputs were not provided. Verify that these IDs are correctly entered.
  • API Request Failures: Errors returned from the Google API will be wrapped with messages like "Error calling Google Analytics API." Check the error message and stack trace for details. Common issues include invalid IDs, insufficient permissions, or network problems.
  • Incorrect Resource or Operation: Ensure that the selected resource and operation match the intended API call.
