Overview
The "Get Daily Metrics" operation of the "Report" resource in this node fetches daily aggregated metrics data from Vista Social. This is useful for users who want to analyze performance trends over a specific date range for a particular profile on the Vista Social platform. Typical scenarios include tracking social media engagement, reach, or other key performance indicators on a day-by-day basis.
For example, a social media manager could use this node to retrieve daily metrics for a client’s profile between two dates to generate reports or trigger automated workflows based on performance thresholds.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Date From | The start date (inclusive) for the daily metrics data to retrieve. Must be provided. |
| Date To | The end date (inclusive) for the daily metrics data to retrieve. Must be provided. |
| Profile Name or ID | The profile for which to get the daily metrics. Can be selected from a list of profiles or specified by ID. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the daily metrics for the specified profile within the given date range. Each item in the output typically represents metrics for one day and may include fields such as date, engagement counts, impressions, clicks, or other relevant statistics depending on what Vista Social provides.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated explicitly here), it would likely represent downloadable report files or images related to the metrics.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Vista Social API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to
https://vistasocial.com/api/integration. - The user must have access to the relevant Vista Social account/profile to retrieve metrics.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Invalid date range: The "Date From" must not be after "Date To". Check input values.
- Profile not found: If the profile ID or name does not exist or is inaccessible, the node will fail. Verify the profile selection.
- API rate limits or downtime: If the Vista Social API is unreachable or rate-limited, the node will throw errors. Retry later or check API status.
- Empty results: If no data exists for the specified date range/profile, the output may be empty. Confirm that metrics are available for those dates.
