Thanks for the info on this Alec. I have actually used some of the expertise to build a service of sorts which allows graphs and reports to be embedded into websites. The site is:
http://www.embeddedanalytics.com

It targets the non-technical/non-programmer community.

hi.. thanks for sharing.. now i can retrive the visit count number after struggling for a while.. nice tutorial..

btw, there’s a typo on Code Snippet on Section 4 above, it written:
$requrl = sprintf(”https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=%s&;metrics=ga:pageviews&s

sholuld be:
$requrl = sprintf(”https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=%s&metrics=ga:pageviews&s

without ; after ids=%s&

thanks again for the article

Thanks Alec. Is there any method to display many profiles in a graph/report?

It took me a while to get this going; and I had to add an option. I too kept getting the “Error authenticating with Google” error, and curl_exec was returning nothing. The fix:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

Another question which I have is:

the ‘make_api_call()’ which you are using.. how have you decided upon the parameter? Eg.

make_api_call(”https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default”, $sessiontoken);

What is the exact way of calling the google analytics APIs from our own application?

Hi,

I have a following use case:
My application is a java based one. I want to use the google analytics APIs (similar to the way you have used them) to populate or fetch the data as a part of my application (eg. page visit count, etc.) Can I use the same API with java code? If not, how can I use these APIs for my purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Great script, I would like to know how to automate it so that the token is stored, and not required to authenticate every time. Is there anyway to input my id, email address, and password to “auto-authenticate”?
