today , one of my ga profile showing only 99999 results in Top Events reports , not sure whether it's because one thing i did yesterday .
yesterday , i run google v4 api in R, by the package of googleanalyticsR,and getting quota error :
Quota Error: The number of recent failed writes is too high.
so , my questing is , if i can only get 99999 results in the profile from now on ?
many thanks.
The Analytics Core Reporting API returns a maximum of 10,000 rows per request but you can use 'max-results' parameter to specify the maximum number of rows to include in the response in combination with 'start-index' to retrieve a subset of elements:

I am using the GA4 (Google.Apis.AnalyticsReporting.v4) reporting API to create a dashboard for my company.
I noticed that if you select the following dimension:-
TIME/ga:dateHourMinute,
ADWORDS/ga:adwordsCampaignID
ADWORDS/ga:adwordsAdGroupID
with METRICS:-
ga:impressions,
ga:CPC
ga:adCost no data is returned
BUT if you change the selection to dimensions:-
TIME/ga:date,
ADWORDS/ga:adwordsCampaignID,
ADWORDS/ga:adwordsAdGroupID
with METRICS:-
ga:impressions,
ga:CPC
ga:adCost
data is returned. Does anyone know how to get the first query to return data?
The dimension ga:dateHourMinute is not compatible with the metrics ga:impressions, ga:CPC, and ga:adCost. Google Analytics does not store these metrics broken down by date, hour, and minute. If you send the first query, you will get that the dimensions and metrics are incompatible:
You can visit the dimension & metric explorer to plan a query for compatible dimensions and metrics. If you check the fields ga:adwordsCampaignID, ga:adwordsAdGroupID, ga:impressions, ga:CPC, and ga:adCost, then the dimension ga:dateHourMinute is grayed out to signify incompatibility:
There is a slight difference in the account names in Google Ad Words and Google Analytics: AdWords will have a campaign called "*Brand_Campaign [Ex]" while the name in Google Analytics is "Brand_Campaign_Ex"
If I want to stitch these together, I need to replace all the symbols and convert the entire campaign name to lower case. I'm trying to create a new field in the Google Analytics data using this formula:
REGEXP_REPLACE(Campaign,'_','')
But Google Data Studio returns an error message saying
Unknown dimension or metric ID: _ga____campaign_.
The campaign dimension is definitely in the table. The same formula works to create a new dimension, but I cannot join on dimensions created on the fly. I have been able to do this exact thing for the Google AdWords table, but the Analytics table is returning this strange error. Please help!
Not 100% sure if this applies here but I had a similar problem. My problem was that the columns in my postgresSQL database contained special characters like - or /. I know that one should never use such characters but anyways - changed that and reconnected the database and everything worked fine!
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to retrieve separately ga:userAgeBracket and ga:userGender using Google Analytics Report API v4 using a filter on eventCategory and eventAction.
From GA Dashboard, i'm able to retrieve the data even if there is only ~ 2.4k users and ~5.6k sessions. The repartition is 178 Males and 142 Females.
I'm trying to get the same result with the API but it's return nothing. I'm testing with https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer with the same filters ect.
Is there any limit on the API ONLY when there is a small amount of data ? or another reason ?
EDIT: With another account with more data, and i still have the issue. Here are some screenshots
You created a segment in GA webUI and is comparing the results to "filters" in the explorer. You should be applying the same segment instead for consistency. Once you save the segment in webUI, it should be available in the "segment" field as a selection.
Your filtering also uses the "=~" regex match operator instead of the "=#" contains operator. Try this and you should have results.
I am working on GA reporting metrics in Power BI via reporting API.
While I create a query with some very basic attributes like sessions and users, I get same values as I can see directly in google analytics dashboard.
but when I add more dimensions and attributes, say, user type, pageviews or gender etc, alingwith users and sessions, the value of users and sessions is inflated.
I have tried to go through various documentations, where I know there are some restrictions that not all dimensions and attributes can be put together, but in this case, GA has allowed me to add these basic attributes togehter but the results are not matching.
Is there any documentation to explain this behaviur, or has anyone experienced anything like this.
has this to do something to do with binning, though I would expect, even if the difference is due to different binnings on different counters, the difference should be a smaller value, not the ones I am getting, which is huge(multiple times of error ) not just few percent of error.
I have come across with this problem and the reason is because of a limit on Google Analytics Core Reporting API.
Sampling thresholds
Default reports are not subject to sampling.
Ad-hoc queries of your data are subject to the following general
thresholds for sampling:
Analytics Standard: 500k sessions at the property level for the date
range you are using
Analytics 360: 100M sessions at the view level for
the date range you are using
i.e. Once the data you are requesting is returning more than 500k sessions / rows of data in a query, Google Analytics will return sampling data but not exact data.
The way I work around with this limit is to break down the query into separate queries (to make sure the returned data is fewer than 500k rows) with a date filter (per year, month or day, depends on data volume) apply to each of it. Then append all the queries back into one.
Sample M code:
(year as number, month as number) =>
let
Source = GoogleAnalytics.Accounts(),
...,
#"Added Items" = Cube.Transform(#"...", {{Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:pagePath", {"ga:pagePath"}, {"Page"}}, {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:pageDepth", {"ga:pageDepth"}, {"Page Depth"}}, {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:pageTitle", {"ga:pageTitle"}, {"Page Title"}}, {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:date", {"ga:date"}, {"Date"}}, {Cube.AddMeasureColumn, "Page Load Time (ms)", "ga:pageLoadTime"}}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Items", each [Date] >= #date(year, month, 1) and [Date] <= Date.EndOfMonth(#date(year, month, 1)))
in
#"Filtered Rows"
Result:
When I query Google Analytics for traffic (ga:visits,ga:pageviews) filtered by ga:userDefinesValue with no dimension specified, within a time period (e.g. 2012-08-01 to 2012-09-01), I get a result:
Your query matched 1 results and the API only returned the following 1 results:
ga:visits ga:pageviews
7 21
The problem is that when I add any dimension to the query (e.g. ga:country or ga:pagePath) i get an empty results set:
(none)
no results found
What could be the reason for this behavior?
Thanks.
From your description you state you are using country and pagePath as a metric, this will fail as they are dimensions.
Add ga:country as a dimension and the report should work.
