Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics operations based on the selected resource and operation. Specifically, for the 'Action' resource and 'Get Downloads' operation, it fetches a list of downloaded files along with their associated metrics from a Matomo instance. This is useful for analyzing download activity on a website, such as tracking which files are most frequently downloaded and understanding user engagement with downloadable content.

Use Case Examples

1. A marketing analyst wants to retrieve download metrics for files on their website to understand user interest in different resources.
2. A website administrator needs to monitor download activity to ensure popular files are up-to-date and accessible.
3. A data analyst integrates Matomo download data into a dashboard to visualize download trends over time.
