Overview
This node integrates with the Webmetic service to retrieve company visit data for a specified domain. Specifically, the "New Visits" resource with the "Get" operation fetches a list of companies that have visited the given domain for the first time within an optional date range.
Common scenarios where this node is useful include:
- Marketing teams tracking new potential business visitors to their website.
- Sales teams identifying fresh leads based on first-time visits.
- Analysts monitoring traffic growth from new companies over specific periods.
For example, you can use this node to get all companies that visited "example.com" for the first time in the last 30 days, helping prioritize outreach efforts.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Domain | The domain name to retrieve company visit data for (e.g., "example.com"). |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to filter the data by date range: |
| - From Date | Starting date/time or relative date string to specify the beginning of the period (e.g., "2023-01-01", "-30 days", "now"). |
| - To Date | Ending date/time or "now" for current date/time to specify the end of the period (e.g., "2023-01-31", "-15 minutes", "now"). |
Output

No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Webmetic API.
- The node makes HTTP GET requests to
https://hub.webmetic.de/new-visitswith query parameters including the domain and optional date filters. - Ensure the API key credential is configured correctly in n8n for successful authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid domain: The "Domain" property is required. Ensure it is set to a valid domain string.
- API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
- Date format issues: The "From Date" and "To Date" fields accept absolute dates or relative strings. Invalid formats may cause request failures.
- Empty results: If no companies are returned, check if the date range is correct and if there were indeed any first-time visits during that period.
