I'm searching for a way to access the GA Attribution (beta) project data automatically.
Especially I need this table (screenshot 1).
I want to extract it automatically every day, but I cant seem to find any API for that.
Is there a way to get this data automatically?
I thought about using a webscraper, but I'm not sure if that's allowd/possible on GA.
Thank you in advance.
As off 22.02.2022:
Thanks for contacting Google Analytics 360 support team. I hope you
are doing good!
I have reviewed your chat and understand that you are looking for
option of downloading Model comparison table using API.
I would like to inform that we have already received several request
from clients on this and our engineers are in the process of reviewing
the request (feature request). I would like to inform you that I have
added your details to the list of interested clients and I am looking
forward to it.
Please note that feature request implementation completely depends on
our engineers so it is really difficult to provide an estimated
timeline but I am positively looking forward for the same. If you
still have anymore questions on the same you may reach out to your
partner manager and discuss further.
I hope this email helps, in case you have any further questions please
feel free to reply and I will be glad to assist further.

I am a developer tasked with an investigation about the LinkedIn APIs. More specifically, I need to be able to get information on a user's connections and I think that the Contacts API would be a good match, since it retrieves a logged-in user's connections and I currently have no means to access the Connections API. The problem is I do not know how to get access to it, as it is not clear enough in the documentation I have read thus far.
I have checked the API documentation and several posts in Stack Overflow about the topic, but I have not been able to find the answer I have been looking for. I have also read through other resources, such as the API Terms of Use and many other forum posts, but with the same result.
On the API documentation, all it says is that "The use of this API is restricted to those developers approved by LinkedIn and subject to applicable data restrictions in their agreements.", however I do not understand where I should apply for approval, as the Contacts API does not seem to be under any of the options I can apply to. Is it possible to apply for it at all?
Thanks in advance
After some time being working with Restful APIs I would like to know a bit more about their internal functionality.
I would like a simple explanation about how the API`s get access to the data that they provide as responses to our requests.
There are APIs, for example weather API`s or sports APIs that are capable to provide responses with very recent data (such as sports results), I am wondering where or how they get that updated info almost as soon as it is available.
I have seen here on SO questions with answers pointing to API design tutorials, but not to this particular topic.
An API is usually simply a facade (or an interface if you prefer) to some information resource. The idea behind it is to "hide" any complexity from the user, to unify several services to a single access point or even to keep the details about the implementation of the actual service a secret.
This being said you probably understand now that there can't be one definitive answer to the question "where do APIs get their info from?". But some common answers are:
other APIs
some proprietary/in-house developed service/database
etc.
For sports APIs - probably they are being provided by some sports media, which has the results as soon as they get out, so they just enter them in their DB and immediately they become available through their API.
For weather forecasts - again as with the sports API they are probably provided by a company dealing with weather forecasts.
If it's easier for you you can think of the "read-only" APIs as rss feeds in a way.
I hope this clears the things a bit for you.
You could have a look at Stack Share to see what companies use for databases and whatnot. But there isn't a universal answer, every company uses whatever works for them.
This usually means that te company has its own database in which the data is stored. But they might also get their data from another company.
But a 'database' is not just SQL, maybe they use unstructured data or any of the other options to store data.
That's where the "whatever works" comes from. The company chooses a solution they go with which best fits their needs.
I'm using this link https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/stream/contents/feed/FEEDHERE?output=json&n=20
to fetch feeds using Google's algorithm. As you can see I'm not adding any other parameters, just fetching the returned data in JSON format. My app will be heavily used hopefully and if I send a lot of requests to this link, will Google block my access or something?
Is there anything I can include, like userip, url for my app (so if they have problem to just contact me) or something else?
The most basic answer to your question is that Google will change its Terms of Service whenever it likes, and you've got no say in the matter. So if it's allowed today, it might not be allowed tomorrow, at Google's whim.
On this issue, though, you seem fairly safe. From the Terms of Service (these is the general document, since Reader doesn't seem to have a specific one):
Don’t misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide.
Google provides RSS and Atom. They provide these feeds, so I assume they expect that they'll be used. They don't say that it's a misuse to point someone else at those feeds, so it looks OK for now, but they could add such a clause at any time.
All online services are subject to the terms and conditions of the providers of those services. So, as others have said, they may be ok with your use today, but they can change their mind any time down the line. I doubt including a URL or email or contact info will help anything, because when these services change, they don't notify every user of the service, they just announce the change publicly, and usually they give several month's notice in order to give users a chance to adapt their applications, but this is not standardized or enforced so there is no guarantee. One example would be the fairly recent discontinuance of the Google Finance API (for which no replacement has been announced).
The safest approach would be to design your app such that this feature that uses google's functionality is decoupled as much as possible from the rest of your app, so that, when or if the availability of the service changes (ie it's no longer available at all) you can adapt your app to use some other source for the feeds with minimal impact to the rest of the app. Design for change and plan for the worst.
I am making an application in which i have to make connnect to linkedin and after connecting i've to retrieve group discussion posts and all other information that i can retrieve related to group
I dont know where to start :(
I have APIkey and SecretKey
Can anyone provide the sample code
Regards
I dont know where to start
The documentation of the API you are trying to use is generally a good place to start.
Here's how I would proceed if I was at your place:
Head over to the documentation
Read it carefully
Start designing a POC (proof-of-concept). Could be a simple console application in which you attempt to consume the API.
Once you have a working POC integrate it into your actual application
If in between those steps you encounter some specific problems you shouldn't hesitate to show your progress here and ask some real question instead of give-me-the-code type of questions.
I have an existing asp.net application that is currently in production for more than 3 years now. That application was developped based on internal and user requirements. That application is also using Google Analytics to detect different usage metrics to understand more what users are doing and which part of the system is most requested. But... we understand now that we are not so well connected to client's need's and more importantly, we don't receive a lot of feedback from them and when we receive feedback, that feedback is sent to many different people so most of the time they are lost or missing some valuable informations. Here is my question: is there some free (or paid) products that can be incorporated into an existing asp.net application that can provide the following functionnalities:
For my users:
Send feedbacks
Log bugs
Submit feature request
Ask questions
Be able to follow an issue, bug or feature and subscribe to it
Be able to rate answers
Be able to include attachments
Be able to vote for issues to prioritize them
Etc.
For me:
Respond to all of these issues and be able, in some way, to see and analyze all of this data to properly populate our product backlog with what user needs
My real need will be to have something like Telerik has implemented. Is there something that can be incorporated into an existing application?
Thanks in advance
What about User Voice? It's a great system to collect user feedback. Not sure if you'd get the integration you're looking for. For the rest of your requirements it seems it would work really well.
