Google Analytics Data Retention Policy - Bulk Changes? - google-analytics

With Google Analytics New Data Retention Changes. Are there any ways to implement it to all accounts under your main log in? We have multiple accounts. If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much. Reference article on the Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196

Updating this setting in batch is unfortunately not possible. You have to click your way through the interface for each property one by one.
These data retention settings can be updated via the GA management API, but write requests have a daily quota of 50.

Are there ways of testing Google Analytics demographic data collection?

I've been working with Google Analytics, and while I have all the necessary settings in the right configuration to collect demographic information, I'm not seeing anything. Other information (active users, geographic info) is showing up as I'd expect, so it's not that everything is broken. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to test the demographic data collection, to ensure that it's not just that users are blocking that data (it is a very low traffic site). Other tips are also appreciated in case I'm missing something else that could be causing this to happen. Thanks very much for your attention!
Seeing the demographics data in the reports takes a lot of hits, because they are based on a sample of total sessions.
Anyway, you can check if you have activated them by looking in the browser network if you are also sending hits to doubleclick as well as Google Analytics.

Firebase Bigquery integration and Google Analytics part on it

So I will try to explain myself the best I can, and I would really appreciate any help!
May main Goal here is to export FireBase data to a DataStudio. I know how easy this is, just link FireBase to BigQuery and create a DataStudio with this data source. There's even already an awesome template for this.
But is not that simple, I work at an agency, this is a huge corporate client and their internal people work is a mess.
The problem here is: I can get "property" access to Firebase, and I have linked my Bigquery account to this project, but what I can't see is the whole app information in Bigquery.
What I see is the data from "crashalytics", "messaging", "performance" and predictions.
But can't seem to find the "normal info" off the app, the events, conversions, audiences, etc...
This is where I can't understand some things that I would like you to help me with, I have some theories.
In the configuration of bigquery integration on firebase I have every switch marked as "On" but one, the analytics one.
enter image description here
Now here is where all my questions come:
- ¿Do I need this switch to be on so I can visualize, for example Events or users information on Bigquery?
If so, what is the realtion between Firebase and Google Analytics?:
- ¿Is it necesary to have a Google Analytics account integrated with the Firebase project in order for bigquery to extract the data and show it?
- ¿Can I extract directly through firebase the data without Google analytics?
And an extra one: If I remove the Google Analytics account from my Firebase project, and add a new one, ¿Would the new Google Analytics also have the data so I can extract it with Bigquery and build my panel?
The biggest problem here is that this Firebase account was created long ago, and the client haves no idea what Google Analytics account is Linked to the Firebase project, they know nobody with acces to it, and they say "I'ts an old analytics, we only need Firebase information to show on datastudio" but I'm starting to feel this is not possible without this Google Analytics acces.
Pleaaase some help with this.
Thank you very much in advance.
I solved it, if anybody comes to this problem, the problem was I needed permision to the analytics web + app created from firebase.

Google analytics api V4- I can't see historical data

Google analytics api V4- I can't see historical data
Which may be the reason that I can only see data through the API from a certain date.
From GA, I can see everything without a problem.
What can be the reason that the data is only available from 2018?
I think I found the reason, data settings in GA - Administration -> Service -> Data storage.
I will see after 24h whether they will be visible.

Google Analytics - How to identify sessions when downloading data through API

I plan to download data from Google Analytics through API, possibly hits using Client ID as a primary dimension. However, I do not know how to identify the sessions in which these hits belong. Any ideas? Thank you.
If you've already set up and started tracking client ID as a custom dimension, then you can report on which hits belong to which session via the ga:sessionCount dimension.

Can I present google analytics data to users within my application?

I'm creating an auction site and would like to provide my sellers with analytics related to their product pages - visitors, search terms, etc. I could roll my own analytics but want to know if it is possible (or forbidden) to use google analytics within my application and present that data to my users. Is this possible, has anyone done this and, if so, how did you go about it. Thanks in advance
Sure, you can do this.
The easiest method is to give your sellers direct access to GA. I have no idea how you have your GA interface setup but you can setup profiles in lots of different ways (filters, segments, etc..) to have the profile show data only for the specific seller, and give their GA account access only to their profile.
Alternatively, GA provides an API for retrieving data from them and displaying on your own site.
Also you can provides Real time data reporting via Google's Real Time API - https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/v3/devguide
Which will provide several data in the manner of dimensions and metrics
