In firebase we have 5 projects and 2 to 6 apps per project. Each project has their own overview / dashboard (eg. with Analytics & Crashlytics graphs).
However, we'd like to have a single dashboard as overview for all projects (if possible, with a filter for apps for each project). Is it possible to configure this in the Firebase console somehow? If not: is it possible to extract the necessary data ourselves to create our own dashboard (and where can we extract that data)?
You can link your firebase analytics to Google Analytics. It can be done from analytics dashboard in your firebase project. It's basically an agreement that let your firebase data accessible from Google Analytics panel! (I'm not a lawyer, if you want to make sure what's going on please check it with your lawyer!)
Then in Google Analytics, you can make custom reports.
I'm not sure if custom reports are useful for your specific need, so please check beforehand.
I've searching a lot about someway to embed Firebase Analytics from my apps data into the backend UI from my website.
Is it possible to automate this process through some specific API methods to show those metrics from my Firebase Apps (like the number of installations or even the audience data)?
Thanks in advance!
Update: There now is an API to retrieve the analytics report data. See my answer here for details: Is there any api for dashboard analytics data?
The other two options are:
Use the "Export to CSV" option for the analytics in the Firebase console. This is a manual operation though, there is no public API.
Link your Firebase project to BigQuery, to automatically export the data and then use for example Data Studio to generate the charts you want.
I can import a lot of data from Analytics to Data Studio, but I can't find "Real-Time" data.
How to show on Data Studio how many users are online right now on my site?
Yes you can. This tutorial shows you how to create a real-time Google Analytics Data Studio dashboard.
The real-time Google Analytics data is fed to Google Data Studio via a Google Sheet. The Google Sheet uses Google App Script to query the Google Analytics real-time API. The Google Data Studio dashboard is automatically updated using a Chrome browser extension.
Google Analytics real time data is not supported yet.
There is a way to get real time data in data Studio.
You need to use google analytics Real time API, a little google sheet.
Fetch the data in google sheet with real time api and use this as a data source in data studio.
Google sheet data can be refreshed automatically with setting the time driven trigger. But in data studio you need to click the refresh data button every time you need the real time data.
I am using asp.net 3.5 with C#.
I have registered my application in google analytics and it is successfully showing my statistics. But I want to integrate that statistics into my website, is there any way I can do it.
If you're trying to retrieve Analytics data (rather than collect it, as it sounds like you're already doing), take a look at Google's Data Export API
Have you looked at the Google Analytics API? It's javascript, but you can get that data into server-side code from there.
So Google Analytics does not have an API that we can use to get our data, so is there an efficient way to programaticly fetch the data collected by Google, without logging it locally?
Edit:
I would prefer a Python or PHP solution but anything will work.
Google just announced that they're making available a data export API for Google Analytics. It sounds like that's exactly what you're looking for.
Per their announcement, the feature's currently in private beta, but I figure it'll be rolled out to all accounts in coming weeks/months. Depending on your needs, you may just want to wait, instead of building a short-term hackish solution.
If you're interested, I presume that the functionality's being rolled out first to members of the Google Analytics Trusted Tester program.
Also, I forgot about this: I never actually completely implemented this for a client because the deal fell through...
But you can customize the dashboard to include the sections of Google Analytics that your report might need and have a scheduled email. If the reports do not need to be too detailed and if Google already aggregates the data in the way you need it, then this might work for you.
The Google Analytics API is now open to everyone and looks like it contains the full data set
Well, it depends on what you want to do with the data. If you only want to process part of it, then I don't think it is difficult.
Here's a basic web search with a hit explanations from Google and someone else:

There is a completely programmatic way to access the data using greqo(PHP), but the analytics class is in beta. Check it out here.
If beta is not acceptable, you can use a mixture of the XML and Yahoo Pipes to get what you need.
Basic Method
Obtain the tracking data in a usable
format – We can schedule Google
Analytics to email this as an XML file
on a regular basis.
Make the XML file accessible online –
By emailing an attachment to Google
Groups, the file is automatically
given a public URL.
Work out the URL of the most recent
report – Since Google Groups provides
RSS/Atom feeds for all messages, we
can easily find the URL of the most
recent message and therefore work out
the URL of the XML report.
Prepare the data for use – We need to
manipulate the XML and massage it into
a handy JSON format that we can use on
our blog, which can all be done using
Yahoo Pipes.
Taken from here.
I implemented a solution where we scheduled the analytics report to be emailed to a gmail account each day and I pulled the report on demand via POP3. It's pretty easy and works fast. I've heard Epic1 will do this for you as well. I'm researching that now.
If you're using Python, Pandas io is also very helpful. Pandas has an interface on top of the Google Analytics API. It's pretty simple to get up and running and integrates with Pandas so you get the aggregation, time series features, and other data analysis library features.

Its been a while since I had to deal with this, but Google Analytics has an XML output type, so you can parse that to get the data in your own system. However, I believe that there is no way to get the xml file programatically, so someone still has to go in and generate the file and feed it to your app.
Good question though, I'd love to see if there is a 100% automated solution.
We just released a product - Megalytic - that makes it very easy to create custom reports using data from the Google Analytics API. You can email these reports to others without sharing your Google Analytics account. Also, create links to reports, download as PDF, etc.
