Dependencies

  • Requires valid Google Analytics API credentials with OAuth2 authentication configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the Google Analytics Admin API endpoint https://analyticsadmin.googleapis.com/v1alpha.
  • Proper permissions on the Google Analytics account are necessary to retrieve access binding information.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing Google Analytics API credentials, ensure that OAuth2 credentials are properly set up and linked in n8n.
  • Required Parameter Missing: Errors indicating missing "Account ID" or "Access Binding ID" mean these inputs must be provided for the operation to succeed.
  • API Permission Denied: If the API returns permission errors, verify that the authenticated user has sufficient rights to view access bindings on the specified account.
  • Invalid IDs: Providing incorrect or non-existent Account ID or Access Binding ID will result in API errors; double-check these values.
  • Rate Limits: Google Analytics API enforces rate limits; if exceeded, requests may fail temporarily.
