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.
Analytics hub is for big query.

I couldn't find this in the reporting API or metadata API. Am I missing something?
The google analytics website uses the Google analytics api to get its data. So as long as you find the exact same dimensions and metrics you used in the report you are talking about then yes you could recreate the report using the Reporting API. Some of the reports contain calculated fields which you will have to calculate yourself by requesting the data that is needed for the calculation in order to get the correct results.
If you want the actual results to be computed for you and see the graph itself the answer is no. The api is just raw data you have to do all the calculations and display yourself.
Wondering if someone knows what is the level of detail of an GA extract in TABLEAU

It depends on how you are connecting to Google Analytics.
If you are connecting directly from Tableau to Google Analytics, you will be able to filter the data to keep under the 10k row limits, as described in How to Connect Tableau and Google Analytics
If you use a premium version of Google Analytics along with BigQuery before Tableau, there are no limits and you receive each event at the lowest grain
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.
Is it possible to get a visitor flow associated with a given ga:transactionId through the Google Analytics API?
There's limited availability in ga:landingPagePath, ga:secondPagePath, ga:exitPagePath and ga:pageDepth
but a more complete path would be desirable
Thanks!
You can access the flow with the ga:previousPagePath and ga:pagePath dimensions and the ga:visits metric. You can play around with the output in the Query Explorer. For what its worth, here are a few of other related questions:
