Overview

The "Site: Get" operation in this custom n8n node allows users to retrieve information about a specific site from the Plausible API. This is useful for automating analytics workflows, integrating site data into dashboards, or triggering actions based on site status or configuration. For example, you might use this node to fetch details about your website before running further analytics queries or to verify that a domain is registered with Plausible.
