We want to embed a Google Data Studio dashboard in the admin side of our application, which
is installed on our customers' websites.
Customers can login to the admin and see the data linked to their account, such as analytics.
The Google Data Studio dashboard includes connectors to our database and to Google Analytics.
Data from Google Analytics must be filtered per customer, with a segment that includes data
from their website only.
How to dynamically add a Google Analytics segment to our dashboard ?
I found that it is possible to pass parameters in the embed link, but how to use
these parameters to filter Google Analytics data dynamically ?
Thank you.
It doesn't seem possible to do that unfortunately. We ended up creating Data Studio sheets manually and adding the right parameters for major customers.
We are moving to a custom data dashboard linked to the Google Analytics API (not using Data Studio).

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.
I have created a UWP app and integrated google analytics SDK in it from the following link https://github.com/dotnet/windows-sdk-for-google-analytics. Since the help of this library does not portray a complete work flow I need a working example to set things up with analytics. I want to track product additions and checkouts. I am able to send page views and clicks to analytics as well as bundle up product details with hit requests.
Please help me to understand how to see the sent products in Google Analytics dashboard and reports.
I finally managed to get Google Analytics working with UWP. I wrapped up my data with events and prepared custom reports in Analytics dashboard on the basis of wrapped data.
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 am currently busy with embeddig a Google Analytics dashboard on a third-party website. I've already made a server-side authorization work and I'm able to display some google analytics data.
Now I'm wondering if it's possible to query google analytics benchmark data and show it on third-party website.
It doesn't look like Google Analytics benchmark data is available through the API.
Check this query explorer for the possible query parameters through the GA API.
As a workaround, you could either manually pull a csv report from GA, or write an automated script that can do this, depending on what you need.
Is there any way to display different accounts analytics reports in a single page??
Check out Google Analytics Report Automation using Magic Script - https://developers.google.com/analytics/solutions/report-automation-magic. As long as you have permission to both accounts you want to pull data from, you can make a dashboard using Google Spreadsheets.
