Overview

This node integrates with the Matomo API to perform various analytics operations based on the selected resource and operation. Specifically, for the 'Visits Summary' resource and 'Get Unique Visitors' operation, it fetches the number of unique visitors for a specified site and period. This node is useful for users who want to retrieve detailed web analytics data such as visitor counts, actions, bounce rates, and other visit-related metrics from their Matomo instance. Practical examples include generating reports on unique visitors over a time range, analyzing visit frequency, or obtaining core web metrics for performance monitoring.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve the number of unique visitors for a website over the last month to analyze traffic trends.
2. Fetch core web metrics including visits, bounce count, and actions to monitor website performance.
3. Get detailed visit data such as max actions and visit length to understand user engagement.
