I started to use the Google Analytics API in order to import the necessary information into R. It is working nicely, but I miss one important piece of information: in the Google Analytics website, I can have a look at hits by the domain on my website (e.g. /about, /data), but I cannot find this information in the dimensions and metrics explorer on the Google developer website...
Does anyone know how to extract this information?
Thanks in advance!

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 spent a few hours trying to get the "Play Store Views" and "Installs" metrics but I didn't found it how.
I checked the documentation where you could find all the dimensions/metrics but those are not there.
I hope someone from the google analytics api could helps me with this issue.
I have searched high and low for this. It would be very valuable information to have. I was unable to find the information in the Google Analytics API or the Google play APIs.
I had to go as far as double checking with the Google Analytics dev team.
This information is not available through an API at this time.
The data is available on the Developer Console.
On the ALL APPLICATIONS page, select your app and then User Acquisition (second item from top in left hand menu).
Basically,
my task is to: use Google Analytics data to track the number of tweets R bloggers make per day as well as the incoming traffic from twitter, such that I can generate a csv file and I can perform analysis on these data.
I was given a hint to look at the Google API documentation for info on what data can be scraped using Google Analytics:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#q_summary
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets
This is what i am asked to do ultimately. I was so confused. I do not have a clue what approach and how to do this. Do I have to build an application to do this ?
Now, I have never used google analytics / google developers before. I am not looking a solution here. Rather, I am looking for someone who can point me to the right direction, i.e. links or materials to look at in order to tackle this problem.
Thanks.
If you're looking to track people who come to your site and tweet a blog post, you should be able to get data by installing social interaction tracking:
Google Analytics : Twitter Tweets
Universal Analytics : Social Interactions
Once you have installed social tracking, you can view the social plugins report in Google Analytics by going to Acquisitions > Social > Plugins.
Question: How do you tell the number of consumed map page views in google maps for your site? Is this information available in Google Analytics explicitly?
Business background to my problem: According to an email from google, our site is using more than 25,000 map page views per day. If correct, this would mean that we have to start paying for google maps. However, according to our metrics we are using far less than the allowed number of maps (page views, API downloads). Google analytics corroborates this, it says that our map pages are downloaded considerably less than 25,000 times per day.
This is a real problem for us - we have no idea of how many map page views Google thinks that we are using...
Technical background: The site I am working on is using google maps API v3, javascript version. Client side geocoding. We are loading the Google maps API only from pages that should have maps on them.
Try using the google console dashboard to check the number of pages.
Also are you sure to have protected google maps for your domain only ? If not then maybe someone else is using your key !!
Hope that helps :)
I am using google analytics on my web site. I would like to see the traffic/counts of people coming from a specific domain. How I can set this up in google analytics? For example, my site is wwww.foo.com. I would like to know how many people are landing on my site from www.bar.com (or get referred from www.bar.com). Would be very helpful if someone was able to share steps to set this up in google analytics.
Thanks so much -
In the "Standard Reports" section of your reports homepage, you can go to
Traffic Sources > Sources > Referrals
Then on the right, just above the metrics is a search field. Just type in "www.bar.com" and click the spyglass icon.
