I'm looking for prices of additionnal API calls within Google Analytics.
In the developers console, I can enter my billing information, but before, I'd like to find a price table somewhere.
I know that the free quota is 50 000 requests per month, I know we can ask for an extension, but I need much more and I'm ready to pay. The only question is : what does it cost ?
Thanks !
That's 50,000 requests per day. If you need more, you can go Premium, but even if you do some limits will remain the same. Check their page on Collection Limits and Quota. Pricing probably varies on your needs and scopes.

Does Google Analytics have enough information to answer the question of how much time have my top 100 users spent on my site? I don't need their user information, I don't care about ID or name which I know it doesn't even have. Just the identification of individual users by the cookie GA uses, and a report of how much time the top 100 loyal users spent on my site.
is such a thing possible at all with GA?
From your comment on Colwin's answer:
I don't need google if I have to track this for GA, I just hoped it already has this information such as "page visit duration" on a per-user, ongoing basis. If I had to feed Google that information myself, I can feed my own database and run analytics on it. Thanks anyway.
The Google analytics sessions is
a group of user interactions with your website that take place within a given time frame. For example a single session can contain multiple page views, events, social interactions, and ecommerce transactions.
Average session duration will be calculated as
total duration of all sessions / number of sessions
I don't think this is available from GA out of the box. But you can build something like this with Custom Dimensions available within GA
This will let you setup and send custom metrics dimensions for users that you can then create reports for.
Google Analytics doesn’t allow you to out in PII but random visitor id's should be fine. You can then compare against your own database outside of GA if needed too.
This will allow tracking the same visitor even without them being logged in to your site.
Sending the custom dimensions could possibly look like this.
ga('send', 'pageview', {
'dimension5': '1234567890'
});
You get 20 free custom dimension slots with GA and 200 with GA 360 -> More info here
I think this article has what you are looking for
https://webanalyticsguy.com/2018/01/18/google-analytics-capture-client-id-reporting-purposes/
It shows how to capture the client id which is a decent way to track a specific user. And goes further to explain how to associate that with a metric, in this case the author uses PageView.
You could change this to Average Session Duration or another metric that gives you a sense of time spent.
I guess that you are looking for something like this:

You can get the counts of the users on your site. You can get the seconds they spent on your website page.

Can anyone verify the limit and quota numbers on free accounts for me? I've found 3 different mentions, that all seem to contradict with each other.
According to the Google Analytics Terms of Service it is 10M hits per month per account.
But in the Google Developer Guides it specifies "10M hits per month per property." (emphasis not mine)
And finally, a Data Limits support article is in itself conflicting stating that "If a property sends more hits per month to Analytics than allowed by the Analytics Terms of Service" and links to the Analytics ToS that specifies per account.
I currently have one property getting ~7.5M hits/mo and is the only property on the acct. I have more properties I'd like to add, but need to know if it will cause an issue.
The limit is 10M hits/mo but for personal experience this is not a real limit. I have some propertys with over 200M hits/mo without 360 and nothing happen so far.
You should be fine for a while but its not a bad practice to audit the current state and evaluate if you might have unecessary events being tracked.
Hope it helps!
We are using Google Analytics on a webshop. Recently we have added enhanced ecommerce to measure more events so we can optimize the webshop. But now we are experiencing less pageviews and other data is missing.
I don't know what it is, but on a specific page we are nog measuring anymore, I removed some items from the ga:addImpression data, and now the pageview is measured again.
I can find limits for GA, but I can't find anything for the amount of data that can be send to GA. Because is this seems to be related to the amount of data that is send to GA. If I shorten the name of a product, the pageview is also measured again. GA is practically broken now for us because we are missing huge numbers of pageviews.
Where can I find these limits, or how will I ever know when I'm running into these limits?
In one hand, im not sure how are you building your hits but maybe you should keep in mind the payload limits to send information to GA. (The limit is 8Kb)
In the other hand there is a limit in fact that you should consider (Docs)
This applies to analytics.js, Android iOS SDK, and the Measurement Protocol.
200,000 hits per user per day
500 hits per session
If you go over either of these limits, additional hits will not be processed for that session / day, respectively. These limits apply to Analytics 360 as well.
My best advise is to regulate the amount of events you send really considering which information has value. No doubt EE data is really important so you should partition productImpression hits in multiple ones of the problem is the size. (As shown in the screenshot)
And finally, migrate to GTM.
EDIT: Steps to see what the dataLayer has in it (in a given moment)
A Google Analytics request can send max about 8KB of data:
POST:
payload_data – The BODY of the post request. The body must include
exactly 1 URI encoded payload and must be no longer than 8192 bytes.
URL Endpoint
The length of the entire encoded URL must be no longer than 8000
Bytes.
If your hit exceeds that limit (happens e.g. with large product lists in EEC tracking) it is not (as far as I can tell) processed.
There are also restrictions to field length for some fields (e.g. custom dimension with max 150 bytes, others are detailed in the parameter reference ).
In some cases the data type is relevant, e.g. if in your event tracking the event value is set to a string the call might fail.
I think this is the page you are looking for Quota and limits page can help
These limits apply to the Web Property / Property / Tracking ID.
10 million hits per month per property
If you go over this limit, the Google Analytics team might contact you and ask you upgrade to Analytics 360 or implement client sampling to reduce the amount of data being sent to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics Documentation says the following:
hese limits apply to the Web Property / Property / Tracking ID.
10 million hits per month per property
If you go over this limit, the Google Analytics team might contact you
and ask you upgrade to Analytics 360 or implement client sampling to
reduce the amount of data being sent to Google Analytics.
For monthly total Analytics 360 limits, please contact your account
manager or service representative.
What does this mean exactly ?
I know there is sampling , the one which you see in your reports..
But if your traffic exceeds the 10 milion hits per month, is there an automatic sampling system which forbids you to capture all incoming traffic?
In other words : Does google limit your traffic automaticly at the source? Not in the reports but in the source, let's say I capture 20mil hits a month, will i have all that traffic in my property or does it stop at a certain point?
AGAIN : i'm not talking about report sampling but about the actual captured data a month
Thanks in advance
No, Google does not limit data collection. You have to implement this yourself, although they give you a means to do that at least in the Javascript Tracking code. Implementing sampling yourself would be a little tricky since you want to sample out whole sessions, not individual pageviews.
If you record 20 mio hits you will have them in your property. But at that point you operate outside your quota and Google has the right to terminate your account (they will not do that without getting in contact with you, provided you respond to mails send to the Google accounts authorized to use your GA properties).
So far Google has been, in my experience, very generous even with large overruns, but you should not base something business critical on the violation of TOS for a free service.
Is there a upper bound to how many subscriptions one user can have in their google reader?
how about the number of news they poll every day? Google has limits on everything, how about this one?
The maximum number of subscriptions per account is 15,000. However, if you have more than 2,000 subscriptions, then certain operations (getting unread counts, the "all items" view) may not provide accurate responses.
Google support forums indicate 2,000 though I'm able to add more... may be Mihai is right.
