What is the difference between Google Analytics Reporting API, Google Analytics API, and Google Analytics Data API? What I need is to report on the data for a 3rd party site/account, but it sounds like all 3 of these APIs are for reporting on data. Could you advise? I've been looking through their docs and they all still sound the same.

Google analytics reporting api - Gives access to extract data from Universal analytics accounts
Google analytics api - is a little harder to nail down. It almost sounds like it gives access to extract data and and configure google analytics data. Which would imply that its management api for for universal analytics Google analytics admin api and possibly the reporting api as well.
Google analytics data api - used to extract data from Google analytics ga4 accounts
What I need is to report on the data for a 3rd party site/account
Im not sure what you mean by this. None of those are for sending data to google analytics. To send data to google analytics. you would use one of the collection options.
I want to create a SaaS, for this I need my customers' Google Analytics data. Can I do this? Is something like this possible? I found the Management API, but I don't know if I can do it, I don't even understand it. Thanks
In order to request Google analytics data you need to use serval different apis. But the first thing you need to understand is that there are two versions of google analytics these days Universal analytics and Ga4. They are not interchangeable.
Universal analytics
The management api will give you access to see what universal analytics google analytics accounts that the user has access to. This is just the accounts and users. It is not the data itself within a universal analytics account.
To see the data within a universal analytics account you need to use the Google analytics reporting api. This api will allow you to extract universal analytics data on behalf of your users.
Ga4
As for the GA4 accounts. you would need to use the Google analytics admin api to access account information. The Google analytics data api will give you access to the data within a GA4 account.
Note: at the time of writing both of the GA4 apis are still in Beta.
authorization.
All of these systems will require that you have the consent of a user on the account in order to access their data. So you will need to implement Oauth2 authentication and request access with the appropriate google analytics scope.
Management API is irrelevant. If you need the data, you need the Reporting API. It's here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4
It requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. Here's more on it: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
I'm currently working on a reporting module using Google Analytics API (v4) linked to a Google Adwords account.
While it does manage to query data based on a selection of criteria from the Google Dimension and Metrics Explorer from a linked Google Adwords account, I am unable to query data such as Click Type Performance (the one that shows Headline, Sitelink, etc) or Ad Extension Performance from Adwords through the GA API.
I do know that Google Adwords API is able to provide reporting functionality as well but is the API thorough enough to pull data such as Click Type Performance and Ad Extension Performance?
In other words, what does Google Adwords reporting API provide that GA API linked to a Google Adwords account can't do?
The Google Analytics is a website for displaying analytics about web and mobile applications. Google Adwords is is an online advertising website. they are two different systems.
The Google Analytics API can only return to you Google Analitcs data. That being limited to the dimensions and metrics found in the Google Dimension and Metrics Explorer.
The Adwords API can only return to you data for adwords.
What does Google Adwords reporting API provide that GA API linked to a Google Adwords account can't do?
Adwords returns analitics based upon the ads you are currently running. Google analytics api returns your website analytics data.
I am going to export those dashboards into my web using google analytics api.
Does google analytics api have any methods to get the data of the dashboards?
Or I have to create one by one myself using google analytics api?
The Google Analytics API us used for extracting data from Google Analytics. In the case of the Reporting API its dimensions and metric data. In the Case of the management API its information about the account itself.
Dashboards are UI data from the Google Analytics website. There is no way to export that information.
So no you are not going to be extracting dashboard info using any of the Google analytics APIs.
How can I output a list of i.e. top 20 subdomains from my google analytics account in my website sidebar?
