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.
