Use cases:

  • Retrieving the configuration or credentials for a Measurement Protocol Secret to verify or audit tracking setups.
  • Managing secrets used for sending data to Google Analytics via the Measurement Protocol.
  • Integrating with Google Analytics administration workflows where automated retrieval of secret information is required.

Example:
You want to fetch the details of a Measurement Protocol Secret by specifying the Property ID, Data Stream ID, and the Measurement Protocol Secret ID to confirm its settings or usage.

Properties

Name Meaning
Property ID The identifier of the Google Analytics property that contains the data stream.
Data Stream ID The identifier of the data stream within the specified property.

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.
