Overview

This node interacts with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the Admin (V1Alpha) resource for Account Summaries. The "List Account Summaries" operation returns summaries of all accounts accessible by the authenticated caller. This is useful for scenarios where you want to retrieve a high-level overview of multiple Google Analytics accounts linked to your credentials, such as in account management dashboards or automated reporting workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a list of all Google Analytics accounts you have access to for auditing or monitoring.
  • Integrating account summary data into custom analytics or CRM systems.
  • Automating account inventory updates in internal tools.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to an account summary object retrieved from the Google Analytics API. Each account summary contains metadata about an accessible Google Analytics account, such as account identifiers, display names, and possibly linked properties.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

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/accountSummaries.
  • Proper OAuth2 authentication setup is mandatory to access the API.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Google Analytics API Credentials," ensure that OAuth2 credentials for Google Analytics are properly set up and selected.
  • Account ID Required Errors: For other operations (not relevant here), missing required IDs will cause errors; ensure all required IDs are provided.
  • API Request Failures: Errors 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 Handling: If many account summaries exist, use the "Page Token" query parameter to paginate through results.
