I'm trying to extract search engine keywords using "rga" package in R.
I'm using the report:
acquisition > search console > queries
However I can't find the right metric name in the api for the search keywords.
I'm trying to find a dimension for eg: ga:searchkeyword, ga:searchenginekeyword etc.
I want to run the following code:
ga$getData(ids, dimensions="ga:xxxxxx", metrics="ga:impressions",
start.date="2016-04-01", end.date="2017-04-01")
What dimension should I supply in dimensions parameter?
ga:adMatchedQuery just gives you the keywords a user googled before clicking your AdWords-Ad. You will not see the organic Keywords.
You don´t get the organic Keywords from the Search Console with the GA Reporting API.
You can use the package searchConsoleR (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/searchConsoleR/searchConsoleR.pdf) using googleAuthR for the authentication part.
The Query looks like this:
keywords <-search_analytics(website_name,
start_date, end_date,
c("query", "page"),
searchType="web")
ga:adMatchedQuery is what you're looking for

My goal is to scrape some data if the product available or not.
At present I am using the following:
=importxml (B2,//*[#id="product-controls"]/div/div1/div1)
Unfortunately, i am receiving an error. Here is the link to the file https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11OJvxRRIXJolpi2UttmNIOArAdwh1qeZhjqczlVI8oc/edit#gid=1531110146
As an example, I want to get the data from the url https://radiodetal.com.ua/mikroshema-5m0365r-dip8
and Xpath should be from here
got the formula
=importxml (B2,"//div[#class='stock']")
I need to query the Google Analytics API to reproduce the following view:
In my Python code I have a list of dimensions and metrics that I want to query:
'metrics': [{'expression': 'ga:productListClicks'}],
'dimensions': [{'name': 'ga:landingPagePath'}],
My problem is that I do not know the name of the columns in the format 'ga:...' and in the Query Explorer there are multiple names for a given column.
Is there a way to see the name of the columns in the format 'ga:...' directly in GA?
If not, how can I find the right names?
If you use the GA query builder, you can use the type ahead/search feature of the tool to find these attributes.
You'll find the query explorer here:
https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/
This is what it looks like when you find these:
Some of the ones you're looking for are:
ga:impressions
ga:adClicks
ga:CTR
ga:sessions
ga:bounceRate
etc.
The benefit of doing this in the query builder, is you can then test it before going back to python. There are a lot of complications of mixing metrics and dimensions, and making sure what you're doing is valid here first will save headaches!
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 have been using visitors with ga:country filters to get specific country's visitors. For example to get the number of visitors from US, I used the filter of 'ga:country==United%20States'. But I am wondering if I can do something like 'ga:country!=United%20States'? I guess I can subtract ga:country==United%20States from total visitors but I am wondering.
The easet way of doing this is to create a filter ga:country. A filter will let you remove a subset of the data returned by a query. Think of it like a where clause in SQL.
Filter=ga:country!%3DUnited%20States
That translates to
Filter=ga:country != United States
I made a simple report on my personal dashboard the Google Analtyics to test it.
Added info on filtering:
You can add more then one filter by seprateing
OR operator is defined using a comma (,).
AND operator is defined using a semi-colon (;).
You can mix and match Metric and Dimensions in the same filter.
I'm trying to create a Flex app to get photos from flickr(using YQL) of "something" near a given ZIPCODE and ordered by interestigness.
I can't figure out how. I'm on http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/ and i see that there are different tables: flickr.photos.search, flickr.photos.interestigness etc.I guess i have to make an sql join in order to filter the photos but i dpn't know what columns they contain.
Can you please help me?
Thanks
The key table to search on is flickr.photos.search, which allows you to search photos with numerous filters and to sort the results by interestingness as you want.
A simple query which searches photos within a 20km radius of Beverly Hills, CA, USA for the word "hill" and orders the results by interestingness might look like the following.
select * from flickr.photos.search where
has_geo="true" and text="hill" and sort="interestingness-desc"
and radius="20" and radius_units="km" and place_id in (
select place_id from flickr.places(1) where query="90210, USA"
)
» Try this in the console
i dpn't know what columns they contain.
When using the console, each table should have an associated URL pointing to the documentation for the service that that table provides. That link, and other information about the table (e.g. required parameters), can be found by executing a query of the form desc <table name>. For example, the query desc flickr.photos.search in the YQL console shows:
That documentationURL (here) takes you to Flickr's documentation page for the flickr.photos.search API method, which shows all of the available parameters that can be used. You'll see descriptions for the where clause parameters from the YQL query we used to search for photos near Beverly Hills.
