Analytics API no longer linked to my Google account - google-analytics

I contacted Google Analytics support by email and they pointed me to this forum. Hope you guys can help me out.
Before I signed up for Google Apps for Work, I used to have a Google account (ex: myemail#mycompany.com).
After signing up for Google Apps for Work (with the same email) I had to choose between the old account and the new one. I chose the new one that I use right now with Google Apps for Work.
OK, and how is that related to the Google Analytics API, you may ask?
Well, on my old account I had the Google Analytics API enabled and this connection was lost when I chose to keep the new account.
My connection to Google Analytics API still works as it should, but the API is no longer linked to my account.
My question is, can you guys link the Google Analytics API to my account back?
Thanks so much for your help.
Philip
PS. I can provide my Google email account and the Google Analytics API client id on request if needed.

Can we handle authentication with slack and google calendar?

So lets say i have a meeting/event in which i want only those users which are in my workspace to be able to attend the meeting.
So i want to devise a way which connects their slack and google calendar or google meet or any other application.
When they try to access that event meeting link ( if its happening from google calendar/meet or any other app ), slack should authenticate them. so if they are present in my workspace they should be given access otherwise no
Update:-
The users are not part of organization so they all will be using their personal email.
Basically you can sync the Slack and Google Calendar, to do this:
1.) Add the Google Calendar app to Slack.
2.) Connect your Google Calendar to Slack.
For more details refer to this link: Google Calendar for Slack
About the Access:
Take note Google Calendar and Google Meet are two different Google Apps. As for those who are able to access the meeting link it has nothing to do with the Google Calendar. You can set the Google Meet Settings reference in your Google Admin Console:
Google Meet settings reference for admins
Update:
i have a question the users who are going to join this meeting are not from my organization, they can anyone but they should be someone from my slack workspace.
Unfortunately there is no way you can do it since technically as a default anyone with the Google Meet link can ask to join and the event organizer will either allow or deny. You can only set the permission according to the 3 options in the screenshot above (Meet Safety Settings).
Refer to the link below:
Join a Meeting
If you want to integrate and authenticate Slack with Google Calendar, maybe it can be done with API configuration. Here is the API link:

How can I get my customers' Google Analytics data?

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

Difference between Google analytics and Firebase analytics

I've been searching on the internet for the difference between Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics, with little to no success.
Could anyone help me understand how they are connected? Are they even connected or are they absolutely separate services? Is Firebase Analytics based on Google Analytics?
I would really appreciate if someone could help me wrap my head around this. Thanks a lot. ;)
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google. Google analytics requiers that users add a js tracking code to their website in order to send page hits to Google Analytics. Google analytics also supported mobile analytics though android and IOS sdk's which sent Screen hits to google analytics. There was a difference between Mobile and web google analytics accounts.
Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. Firebase introduced Firebase Analytics which would allow for analytics across Firebase applications. Analytics was preformed on the usage of the firebase account and applicatons running on it.
Google analytics GA4 as of writing was very recently released. GA4 allows for analytics across both web and mobile applications. Using again a snippit. Its worth noting that GA4 tracking methods is vastly different from Google analytics even the property types are different, the management api, and the metadata api.
The main difference between Google analytics and Firebase analytics is that they are two different applications. Each application measures difffent things.
Although it is early days it is now possible to link GA4 and Firebase, this blurs the lines between the two systems. This is still alpha and as of writing it has yet to be seen how well this will work.

My understanding from it is that Firebase Analytics became Google Analytics for Firebase which is now Google Analytics 4. The original Google Analytics was useful for tracking website analytics, but not designed for app analytics. This is where Firebase Analytics came in. Now, the most recently released Google Analytics 4 measures BOTH website traffic and app usage.

Is Google Place API linked to an email account?

I have a former person that setup my Wordpress website and there is an API entered for Google Place. Is this Google Place API attached to a Google account in which the API could potentially be revoked by this person in the future? Or is the API directly issued by Google? I just want to ensure continuity on my Wordpress without a feature breaking in the future.
The API is connected to the former person's Google account. I am unsure if the person can revoke the API key.
To be on the safe side, make your own API KEY

It's possible to know owner of a analytics script having id UA-XXXX?

I have a site developed by a third party, that might have a mistake and wrote another analytics script that is not mine in my site. Since I have the script I have the ID UA-XXXX, is there a way to know who owns this analytics account?
There is no active service that can help you as you can't get the information from Google. They state their policy about identifying the owner of a Google Analytics id here:-
