Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics and management operations. Specifically, for the 'Action' resource and 'Get Site Search Keywords' operation, it retrieves internal search keywords and their associated metrics for a specified website. This is useful for analyzing what users are searching for within a site, helping to optimize content and user experience. The node supports a wide range of query parameters to customize the API request, such as filtering by site ID, date, period, and other Matomo-specific options.

Use Case Examples

  1. A marketing analyst wants to fetch the top internal search keywords used on their website to understand user interests and improve site navigation.
  2. A website administrator needs to retrieve site search keyword metrics to generate reports on user search behavior within the site.
