I’m trying to determine how to add Google Analytics tracking code to my Google Colab pages. I do not need to pull GA data within Colab…I want to see if people are viewing the pages. I have linked several from my portfolio and am interested in seeing whether there’s any traffic.

I have enabled Google Analytics on my website, I can also view dashboards made by Google at analytics.google.com. I want to know if I can embed those dashboards into my own custom site such as mycompany.com.au
I don't think google allows you to have an iframe on their analytics page, but you can set up events to go to Big Query, then access Big Query to create your own sites
You cant directly.
What you can do is use the Google analytics embedded api to which will allow you to show a users google analytics accounts nicely, but your going to have to design all the requests yourself to mirror the Google analytics reports, this also only works with UA analytics not GA4
Byond that you could use the Google analytics api, to request the data yourself and use google charts and graphs to display it nicely on your website.
I guess what I am saying there is nothing out of the box that will do this for you Its something your going to have to code yourself. I have done it for serval clients it can be done very elegantly.
I am in a need of sharing a Google analytics access of my website to a developer and want to hide revenue and conversions sections in Google Analytics account/property/view.
any guidance how is it possible to do that?
if you want to share access to the report in Google analytics web application then the simple answer is you can't, access to a Google analytics account is all or nothing
you could grab the data for them through the API using a service account and design your own reports display of the data
It is not possible to give visibility to only some sections or metrics of a view. You can use API (like said to DalmTo) or more simple to provide data with an external dashboard, for example with Google Data Studio, which fetches data from your Google Analytics and shows only the ones you want to share.
In the Google Analytics console I can easily create charts and add them to dashboards. But how can I display those charts or dashboards on a 3rd party website?
I've seen the Embed API, but it looks like the definition of the reports is always in the Javascript. Is it not possible to say something like display the dashboard that I already created which name/id is XYZ?
Or is there a way, when creating a report in Google Analytics, to get its definition so that I can easily use it? I saw Query Explorer but it doesn't help.
No you can not take the Google Analytics dashboard and display it on another website.
The best option there is to date is the Embedded API which you mentioned. Although it has its limitations. The Embedded API is designed to display a specific users Google Analytics Dashboard who ever is logged in. If you are trying to share the information from your account with other users it wont work unless they also have access to your Google Analytics account.
The Query Explorer shows you what the google Analytics API is capable of. You can develop your own tool to show this information to your users.
I have some links to other websites on my website and I would like to create reports on when they've been clicked on. I haven't been using Google Tag Manager or do not have any trackers in place. Is there a way to get still get such historical data?
Basically,
my task is to: use Google Analytics data to track the number of tweets R bloggers make per day as well as the incoming traffic from twitter, such that I can generate a csv file and I can perform analysis on these data.
I was given a hint to look at the Google API documentation for info on what data can be scraped using Google Analytics:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#q_summary
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets
This is what i am asked to do ultimately. I was so confused. I do not have a clue what approach and how to do this. Do I have to build an application to do this ?
Now, I have never used google analytics / google developers before. I am not looking a solution here. Rather, I am looking for someone who can point me to the right direction, i.e. links or materials to look at in order to tackle this problem.
Thanks.
If you're looking to track people who come to your site and tweet a blog post, you should be able to get data by installing social interaction tracking:
Google Analytics : Twitter Tweets
Universal Analytics : Social Interactions
Once you have installed social tracking, you can view the social plugins report in Google Analytics by going to Acquisitions > Social > Plugins.
