Overview

This node integrates with the AB Tasty platform's Public API to list all tests associated with a specified account. It allows users to retrieve detailed information about experiments and campaigns configured in their AB Tasty account, filtered and paginated according to various criteria.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching a list of active or paused A/B tests for monitoring or reporting.
  • Filtering tests by tags, folders, or test types to analyze specific segments.
  • Paginating through large collections of tests to process them in batches.
  • Integrating AB Tasty test data into workflows for automation or further analysis.

For example, a marketing analyst could use this node to automatically pull all currently running tests tagged with "homepage" to generate a performance report.

Properties

- Filter Type: Search by test type (e.g., ab, heatmap, mobileapp, mastersegment, multipage, multivariate, mvt, predictive, segmentation, subsegment, tunnel).
- Max Per Page: Limit the number of items returned per page. Default is 10.
- Page: Specify the page number of the collection to retrieve. Default is 10.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the tests retrieved from the AB Tasty Public API. Each object corresponds to a test and contains its details as provided by the API response.

If the API returns no content, the output will indicate a "204 No Content" status.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential with client ID and client secret for AB Tasty API authentication.
  • Makes HTTP requests to AB Tasty's OAuth token endpoint to obtain an access token.
  • Uses the access token to authenticate subsequent API calls.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard Node.js modules and n8n helpers.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Client ID or Client Secret: The node throws an error if these credentials are not provided. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Failed to retrieve access token: Indicates issues with authentication; verify client ID and secret validity and network connectivity.
  • Required parameters missing: For listing tests, the Account ID must be provided; otherwise, the node will throw an error.
  • API errors: Any API call failure will result in an error with the message prefixed by "Error calling AB Tasty API". Check the error description for details.
  • Empty or malformed responses: If the API returns empty strings or invalid JSON, the node attempts to handle it gracefully but may output raw text or a 204 status.
