Google.Apis.Analytics.v3 stops working on July 1 2023? - google-analytics

Question

I have an code implementation to read data from UA.
private readonly AnalyticsService service;
private readonly IConfiguration _config;
private ILogger<PageViewService> _logger;
public PageViewService(IConfiguration config, ILogger<PageViewService> logger)
{
try
{
_config = config;
_logger = logger;
var sercretFileLocation = _config["SecretFileLocation"];
var password = _config["Password"];
var accountEmail = _config["AccountEmail"];
X509KeyStorageFlags storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet;
var flag = _config["X509KeyStorageFlags"];
if (flag == "UserKeySet")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.UserKeySet;
}
else if (flag == "MachineKeySet")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet;
}
else if (flag == "Exportable")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable;
}
else if (flag == "UserProtected")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.UserProtected;
}
else if (flag == "PersistKeySet")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet;
}
else if (flag == "EphemeralKeySet")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.EphemeralKeySet;
}
else if (flag == "DefaultKeySet")
{
storageFlag = X509KeyStorageFlags.DefaultKeySet;
}
var certificate = new X509Certificate2(sercretFileLocation, password, storageFlag);
var scopes = new string[] { AnalyticsService.Scope.AnalyticsReadonly };
var credential = new ServiceAccountCredential(new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(accountEmail)
{
Scopes = scopes
}.FromCertificate(certificate));
service = new AnalyticsService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
HttpClientInitializer = credential
});
}
catch (Exception e)
{
_logger.LogError(e.ToString());
}
}
public string GetPageViews(List<string> paths)
{
string pathsString = "";
try
{
var webSiteCode = _config["WebSiteCode"];
var startDate = _config["StartDate"];
if (webSiteCode != null && startDate != null)
{
pathsString = GenerateFilter(paths);
DataResource.GaResource.GetRequest request = service.Data.Ga.Get(
"ga:" + webSiteCode,
startDate,
"today",
"ga:uniquePageviews");
request.Filters = pathsString;
var data = request.Execute();
string uniquePageViews = data?.Rows?.FirstOrDefault()?.FirstOrDefault();
return uniquePageViews;
}
else
{
return "0";
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
_logger.LogError($"{e.ToString()} {pathsString}");
}
return null; //null means there is an error.
}
Direct to the point questions:
Will the code above stops working on July 2023?
I already connected my UA to GA4 using GA4 Setup Assistant on April 2022 . and my GA4 already started retrieving metrics starting April 2022. Is connecting my UA to GA4 using GA4 Setup assistant still work with the above code?
Do I have to change my code to use Google.Apis.AnalyticsReporting.v4? If I use that package, is using the View ID of my UA still works on July 2023?
I tried to create this prototype but this still requires View ID. GA4 does not have View ID so I used the View ID from my UA. As mentioned my UA is connected to my GA4, will this implementation still works on July 2023? Do I have to switch to this implementation on July 2023?
