Actions539

Overview

This node interacts with the Matomo API to perform various operations related to the 'Custom Dimension' resource, specifically the 'Get Configured Custom Dimensions Having Scope' operation. It allows users to retrieve configured custom dimensions filtered by their scope for a given site. This is useful for analytics and tracking customization in Matomo, enabling users to fetch detailed dimension configurations based on action, conversion, or visit scope.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all configured custom dimensions with the scope set to 'action' for a specific website to analyze user interactions at the action level.
  2. Fetch custom dimensions with the scope 'visit' to understand visitor-level data segmentation for a site.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Parameters Collection of optional parameters to filter or specify the API request, such as 'scope' to define the data level the custom dimension applies to.

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from the Matomo API containing the configured custom dimensions filtered by scope.

Dependencies

  • Matomo API credentials (domain and auth token) are required for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the Matomo domain and authentication token are correctly configured; missing these will cause authentication errors.
  • Verify that the 'scope' parameter is set correctly to one of the allowed values ('action', 'conversion', 'visit') to avoid empty or invalid responses.
  • Check network connectivity and Matomo API availability if requests fail or time out.
  • If the API returns an error, review the error message for details and ensure the user has the necessary permissions to access custom dimension data.
