For my project I need to do a query to google analytics to fetch social plugins data. I need to get the 'Shared URL' as secondary dimension. I could select this in Google analytics site. But when I try to create the query from Query explorer, the shared url dimension is not showed under "social". Any idea?
'Shared URL' used to be ga:socialActivityContentUrl but it was removed from the API I cant see that it was replaced by anything
Social activities reference
Note: The Social Data Hub is being deprecated. This only affects
reports that depend directly on the Social Data Hub (Data Hub Activity
and Trackbacks) and the dimensions and metrics listed below. You will
still be able to track incoming traffic, conversions, and landing
pages originating from social platforms as well as social plugin
buttons used to share social content on your site. On April 30th,
2016, the Data Hub Activity and Trackbacks reports will be removed
from the Analytics user interface. On June 30th, 2016, the dimensions
and metrics will be removed from the Analytics user interface.
Shared URL ga:socialActivityContentUrl URL shared by the associated social network user.
It is no longer listed as a valid dimension
Answer: You cant find it because it has been removed and no longer exists. As far as I can see it was not replaced by anything.

I have an app with LinkedIn developer solutions (marketing data) and am working through extracting accounts, campaigns, and creatives from the API as well as marketing metrics.
However, since campaigns change over time I want to be able to see what a campaign was like at some point in time
When I query the api I get a version tag. And if I query again I can see if the version has updated. But sometimes it might have updated a few times. And I can't see how to access past versions.
I can get metrics for the last 6mo, but how to know what a campaign was like at some point in time?

That is how I search for campaigns, given a LinkedIn marketing account ID.
I have a client website with Google Analytics installed. The client would like to have a carousel widget of sorts created that will appear in the header area on all the pages of the website. This widget will display the top 10 most visited pages on the website for a given timeframe.
I'm looking to create a Google API authentication piece on the backend of the website and setup the necessary Google Analytics Reporting API call to obtain the required info. My thought was that this call could be made once daily or weekly and the results saved so that the widget could access this information as required without having to make a new API request each time.
This seems like a reasonable setup but I'm unclear if this will violate Google API's TOS.
https://developers.google.com/terms
The TOS reads ...
e. Prohibitions on Content
Unless expressly permitted by the content owner or by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit your end users or others acting on your behalf to, do the following with content returned from the APIs:
Scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;
With the above in mind, who is the content owner that I would need to get permission from? Is my client the content owner of their analytics data or is Google?
Is my client the content owner of their analytics data or is Google?
Your client is owner of their Google analytics data.
I am attempting to bring Doubleclick Campaign Manager dimensions through the GA API and am getting the following error message -
"Restricted dimension(s): (DCM dimensions I entered in the query string) can only be queried under certain conditions. For details see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets.
There is no guidance on that referencing site. Has anyone run into and solved this - or is it an auth restriction (shouldn't be: I have admin rights to the property).
thanks
If your property is not Google Analytics 360 you cannot query any of the metrics of the DCM. Take a look again here beside each metrics explanation there is the (Analytics 360 only). That is the only thing I can think if you also have admin rights on the property. Also check if you are authenticated with the correct account in any API or Query Explorer you are using
I'm still trying to get my free game app discovered, and notice that most of my new downloads are coming from '(not set)' according to Google Analytics/Aquisition/App Marketplace. And this despite a 'This report has been filtered to include only data where there are values for "App Installer ID" dimension' message on the page. According to the docs:
"A marketplace must support the App Installer ID to be recognized by Google Analytics. Not all marketplaces support the App Installer ID, which is what Google Analytics needs to recognize a marketplace. Traffic that comes from a marketplace that Google Analytics can’t identify appears in the report as (not set)."
I've only submitted my app to Google Play. Should I be concerned about these apparent rogue downloads? What marketplace are they coming from?
Several sites offer direct APK file downloads, one of the biggest being 'Apkmonk' where I found my free game app posted. As reported from the updated Google Analytics 'Acquisition/App Marketplace' graph, I now get 50-350 new user downloads a day from unidentified markets, compared to about 1-5 a day from Google Play (com.android.vending). I had to adjust the support code provided in the docs and examples (i.e. Trivial Drive) for InApp purchases and Google Play Services (particularly the IabHelper file) to support players who had neither Google Play Services nor Google Play Store installed on their devices. They all appeared to get null pointer exceptions on starting the app before I adjusted the code. I experimented uninstalling Google Play Services and turning off Google Play Store on my test device to find null pointer and other crash points in the support code.
As far as app performance in non-Google acquistion markets, I get banner and interstitial ad serves, but that's it. No leaderboard or achievement posts, promo redemptions or InApp purchases, which makes sense. I only get .00-.02 cents per banner or interstitial ad click in these markets, with demographics mostly US and India.
I'm accessing the Google Analytics API v3.0 with the .NET client adapter.
This is all working very good, but I'd like to get the account owner e-mail address for a given account that I have access to.
The resource description only has Id, Name, create- and update date.
Is there a way to get more detailed data for this account? Ideally the owner e-mail address or user data would be great. I couldn't find anything in the Analytics API docs, also nothing declaring that this information is NOT possible to get...
Google Analytics account doesn't really have an "owner" per se. Each account can have multiple users with different permissions.
Recently, Google Analytics launched a new permissions model (see this blogpost for more info), and it'll be rolled out to all the users in the coming weeks. Currently, this information is not available though the Analytics API, but feel free to file a feature request here.
