It allows users to retrieve plugin usage data (such as browser plugins) for a specified site and period. This node is useful for analytics and monitoring plugin usage on websites tracked by Matomo, enabling detailed insights into the plugins used by visitors.

  2. Fetch plugin data for a given time period to monitor changes in plugin usage over time.
