I am trying to link Google Analytics account to tag manager account. I needs the UA-tacking id and all they give me is a G- ID and it doesn't reciprocate. I am not seeing any real-time data in google analytics.
If you want to create a Universal Analytics Property to use the relative identifier UA-XXXXXXX-X, follow the instructions of the image below:

I have create a Google analytics 4 property and been running and gathering data for while now.
I need some external tools to integrate with it and I saw developers reporting that GA4 does not have an API yet, so it does not support any integrations.
I saw that you can create a dual UA and GA4 property but I was unable to find how to add UA to existing GA4 property.
In short: How do I add universal analytics view without loosing any data or integrate with external tools i.e. slack bot posting regular updates? (work around with big Query?)
GA4 does have an API. You can use the Google Analytics Data API v1 to fetch analytics data. The developer's site for this API has more information: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1. The API is currently available at an Alpha (preview) stability. The API will be entering Beta shortly.
When you read about creating dual Property it means tracking with both GA4 and Universal Analytics separately. They are 2 different scripts that track data in different platforms with different model.
Therefore you can create a new Universal Analytics Property in your Google Analytics Account and insert that code in the pages of your site, however it will start tracking from that moment on, you cannot have the history, both because you cannot transport data from a Property to the another (even if they were 2 Properties of the same type), and because GA4 has a completely different data collection model.
In any case, from the moment you start tracking with Universal Analytics then you can query the data with the relative API (i.e. Analytics Reporting API).
I integrated my Firebase to my Google Analytics account by following this link. Now I can see my custom event in Google Analytics.
I managed to use the Google Analytics reporting v4 API to retrieve data for my web site because there is a View like indicated in the figure below :
I would like to use the same API to retrieve data in Google Analytics for Firebase. However, when doing the integration, no view is created like shown below :
I can't manage to find a link or a documentation to do it. Can help me about that ?
PS: I saw that it is possible to export Firebase data through BigQuery, however, I would like to avoid this possible if possible.
Regards and Thanks
Yassir,
It looks like your last screenshot shows a GA4 property, since it does not have any views. You can use the Google Analytics Data API to access GA4 properties.
I'm working with an app and I'm using Firebase , mostly for Analytics. This app also have a website, so what i want to do is sending my data that i'm collecting with Analytics for Firebase to some Property in Google analytics. Can i do this by Google Tag Manager?
The Flow will be something like this:
Firebase events -> Analytics for Firebase -> Google tag Manager -> Google Analytics
You should always start with a measurement plan that details the data you want to collect. This will help you report the performance of your business objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) to your stakeholders. If you’re new to measurement planning, check out Analytics Academy for tips on how to create a solid measurement plan.
Then, you can install a basic implementation of Google Analytics via Tag Manager in four steps:
In Google Tag Manager, select ‘Create Tag’ and then choose the Google Analytics tag template.
Select ‘Universal Analytics’.
Configure your tag by naming it (it will default to the tag template name if you do not choose to change it). We suggest naming it "GA Pageview." Then add your Google Analytics property ID or your gaProperty variable. Finally, choose the Track Type, which in this case, should be the most common type of tracking: ‘Page View.’ A pageview tracks each time a browser loads a site page. Other types of tracking include Events, Cross-domain, Social, and Transaction and refer to the type of action you want to track on your website.
Choose your firing triggers. For a basic Google Analytics implementation, select ‘All Pages’. This means that the Google Analytics tag will fire, or execute, on every page of your site.
Google Tag Manager offers a variable type called “Google Analytics Settings” for use in Universal Analytics tags in web and mobile (Firebase) containers. A Google Analytics Settings Variable acts as a central location to configure sets of Google Analytics settings for use across multiple tags.
When you create a Google Analytics tag using Universal Analytics for web, iOS (Firebase), or Android (Firebase), you will be prompted to select or create a new Google Analytics Settings Variable.

I am new to google tag manager.I am having a google analytics account.
I integrated google analytics account with google tag manager and applied some tracking event to my google analytics account.
Is it possible to retrieve the gtm event tracking data(through rest api) through google analytics query explorer?
If it possible kindly explain the steps.
There is really noch such thing as GTM event tracking data. You may deploy Google Analytics via GTM, but GTM itself does not collect data.
So Google Analytics event data collected by GA deployed via GTM is still just GA data, and you use the same APIs and tools (including the Query Explorer) that you would use to access GA data from properties that are not tagged using GTM.
You can however not use the GTM API to retrieve tracking data (it is not obvious from your question if you are aware of the difference).
I'm trying to get Google remarketing working on a site that has Google Analytics and AdWords.
AdWords does not recognize the Javascript remarketing tag on the site.
I am using Google Tag Manager. Tag manager contains tags for Universal Analytics, AdWords Remarketing and a custom HTML tag containing the JS code for Google Translate.
I've verified that the tag is working in three ways:
Tag Manager in debug mode indicates that the remarketing tag is firing.
A request is being made to googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/. Response is 302. (https://developers.google.com/adwords-remarketing-tag/verification)
Google Tag Assistant reports that Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Remarketing Tag are all "working". Tag assistant doesn't report the translation tag but translation is working correctly.
The AdWords account is linked to the Analytics account.
In AdWords / Shared Library / Audiences / View it still says "We haven't detected the Google Analytics remarketing functionality on your website". I've waited several days.
A related problem is that in Analytics / Property / Remarketing / Audiences, my audience lists are empty, even the system-defined "All visitors". I think that is because the remarketing tag is not working. Analytics reports about 1300 users per week which I think is enough to start building an audience list.
I tried it earlier without using Tag Manager and it still didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Did you check the "Enable Display Advertising Features" checkbox on the Universal Analytics tag on GTM? This suppose to support the remarketing tag via Google Analytics, otherwise your remarketing tag should be handled via Adwords
