Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics operations. Specifically, for the Media resource and the Get Current Num Plays operation, it retrieves the number of video/audio plays in the last specified number of minutes. This is useful for monitoring media engagement metrics in real-time or near real-time, such as tracking how many times a video or audio file has been played recently.

Use Case Examples

1. A marketing analyst wants to monitor the current number of plays of promotional videos on their website to gauge user engagement.
2. A content manager needs to fetch the number of audio plays in the last 30 minutes to analyze the popularity of podcasts or audio content.
