Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Account Access Binding" resource to perform batch retrieval of account access bindings. It allows users to fetch information about multiple access bindings associated with a specified Google Analytics account in a single request.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Managing user permissions and access controls across multiple accounts.
  • Auditing or reporting on who has access to specific Google Analytics accounts.
  • Automating bulk retrieval of access binding data for integration with other systems or workflows.

For example, an organization might use this node to retrieve all access bindings for a set of accounts to generate a consolidated report of user permissions.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Google Analytics API OAuth2 credentials 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 bindings.

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 "Account ID is required" indicate missing mandatory input. Verify that the Account ID property is provided.
  • 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 sets of access bindings, use the Page Token and Page Size query parameters to handle pagination correctly.
