I am working on a project that we need to retrieve all the unique visitors for each page in Google Analytics.
It is possible to see all the pages in one website and get the information for each page in the Google Analytics. However I could not find the Rest API for get all the pages or visitors for each page.
The final goal is that we need to have a drop box which shows all the pages/urls and after we select one of them it shows the number of the visitors.
You can use the Google Analytics API to extract the data on all the pages. You should start by checking out the Page Tracking dimensions.
Once you have the page you want you can filter additional requests to get additional data for each of the pages.
Tip: Look into the Google javascript client library.

I have already used Firebase for my android apps in order to get some statistics and track events. Now for the first time I want to use Firebase for my website to get some simple statistics of visits and clicks. While setting up my project, Firebase generated some code to be pasted after <body> tag.
since I have multiple HTML documents in different URLs, I have to paste those codes in all my documents. Will Firebase distinguish between the visitors of each page or they will be all summed up together? I couldn't find the answer in their documentation.
I'm not sure I understand completely but if you are talking strictly about the analytics code then it will just send all of that data into the analytics account which you will then be able to filter by url and see the visitor data for a given page.
I'm working on a sort of image hosting website where each uploaded image has its own page and unique URL. Within that page, I would like to display an analytics graph/widget which would display how many visitors visited the page in the past week or month.
I'm already using Google Analytics for the whole website so it would be nice if I could just pull out data for that specific URL out from Google Analytics and display it in a graph.
I noticed GA already has an embed API (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/embed/v1/) but it doesn't seem to be possible to restrict the graph data to a single URL.
Any suggestions (including third party services or alternatives to GA) on how to achieve this quickly and securely would help greatly.
To answer my own question, it seems the only secure way to do this is to pull out the data server side using the Google Analytics API and build my own custom graph widgets (e.g. using Google Charts) on the client.
I want to retrieve page views for my website using the google api. I need to use the core reporting API to do this:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/
I want, on page load, to pull down data about page views for my website. At the moment I'm having problems seeing how to achieve this without first needing to manually authenticate the user (via a popup asking for a users google credentials). I don't want this - I simply want to retrieve some data for a given Google analytics profile.
I've generated a client id and an api id and am ready to go but can't find a clear example of how to query the api in the way I need.
Any ideas where in the documentation I can find what I need?
I am currently new for Google analytics API throu Javascript. I am implementing some of charts and for first load, page is redirecting me to google site to login with Analytics account and then returning to my orignal page, refresh & chart show.
Here, I would like to avoid users to redirect to google analytics page and instead of that I want to stored credentials somewhere in config file or in application variable.
I tried to search and read many blogs & articles however no success.
Is there any trick/ ideas by which I can get any API which could resolve this issue?
Google doesn't allow you to pull the physical charts onto your site, since they are generated on the fly. What you can do, is grab the data from their API and then display the data as needed on your site. I have searched and found a few examples with this one looking like it might do the trick.
It goes through the steps of pulling the data through the API, displaying/formatting/styling the data, and adding the chart to the page. Try that, Embed Analytics Using the Google Analytics API.
the reason why you are redirected to a Google login page, is that Google connects to the analytics data for whichever user you log in as. This means each user that logs into the site would see their own Analytics info, not the info from a static account.
If you want it to be the same user's analytics data no matter who is logging in, you would need to setup a "Service Account" on Google's API Console (https://code.google.com/apis/console/), then use those credentials when logging in.
It seems like a lot of people are looking for a solution to this, so I created a nuGet package that:
- connects to a "Service Account" you set up in the API Console
- Pulls any Google Analytics data you would like
- Displays that data using Google's Charts API
and it does all of this in a very easy to modify way. You can see more here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/GoogleAnalytics.GoogleCharts.NET/.
I'm trying to solve a problem with tracking traffic to individual blog posts on a system that uses a javascript redirect system where something somehow break tracking.
The way the system works is as follows:
Permalinks are in the format of domain.com/ab_XXXXXX where ab_XXXXXX is a unique code. That code is parsed by a piece of javascript, which tells the browser to load the individual blog post page. This page has a URL format of blog.html/?cd_XXXXXX_ef=YYYYYY. Here too, XXXXXX and YYYYYY are unique codes which, combined, identify the particular page.
When I load the blog.html/?cd_XXXXXX_ef=YYYYYY URL directly, Google Analytics does seem to track the page and the user shows up in the real-time dashboard as visiting that particular page.
However, when I load the domain.com/ab_XXXXXX URL, the user does not show up in Analytics' real time dashboard, even though the analytics tracking gif gets loaded.
Since the ab_XXXXXX URL is the permalink, Analytics appears to contain no data on individual blog post visits at all.
I'm not the programmer on this system, and at this point I'm not sure what to test or to suggest as changes to the programmers.
My question is: why would Analytics track the user in the one occasion, but not in the other? And what could be done to remedy this?
Does the page ab_XXXXXX actually redirect the user to cd_XXXXXX_ef=YYYYYY or does it simply load the contents of that blog post into the same page? In either case, but particularly the latter, you can simply choose to manually track the page view in your existing Javascript snipped by adding something along the lines of _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'blog.html/?cd_XXXXXX_ef=YYYYYY']);
