Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Event Edit Rule" resource to list event edit rules within a data stream of a property. It allows users to retrieve configurations that define how events are edited or modified in Google Analytics.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

Auditing or reviewing existing event edit rules configured for a specific data stream.
Automating the retrieval of event edit rules for reporting or synchronization purposes.
Integrating Google Analytics event management into broader workflows without manual API calls.

For example, a marketing analyst might use this node to fetch all event edit rules for a particular data stream to ensure compliance with data governance policies or to prepare documentation.

Troubleshooting

Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that OAuth2 credentials for Google Analytics API are properly set up and selected.
Required Parameter Errors: Errors like "Property ID is required" or "Data Stream ID is required" indicate missing mandatory inputs. Provide these IDs to proceed.
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 lists, use Page Size and Page Token query parameters to handle pagination correctly.
