Overview

This node interacts with the Mastodon API to perform operations related to data retention statistics. Specifically, the 'View Statistics' operation under the 'Retention' resource allows users to retrieve retention-related statistical data from a Mastodon instance. This can be useful for administrators or analysts who want to monitor and analyze data retention policies and their effects on the Mastodon server.

Use Case Examples

1. An administrator wants to view retention statistics to understand how long user data is kept on the Mastodon instance.
2. A data analyst retrieves retention statistics to generate reports on data lifecycle and compliance with data retention regulations.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON response containing retention statistics data from the Mastodon instance.

Dependencies

• Requires authentication credentials for the Mastodon instance, either OAuth2 or an access token.

Troubleshooting

• If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the correct Mastodon OAuth2 or Access Token credentials are selected based on the chosen authentication type.
• If the operation is not implemented or the resource is unknown, verify that the resource and operation names are correct and supported by the node.
• Authentication operations require OAuth2 credentials; using an access token for these operations will cause an error.
