i'm developing a windows desktop gadget for Google Analytics and I want to retrieve the data from Google Analytics.
Is there a way to get the data from Google Analytics in any form by any method?
prefered methods would be Javascript or Jquery.
thanks in advance :D
The Google Analytics Core reporting API is what you are looking for.
A handy JavaScript tool is available with the embed API.

I have a JS library which is used by some users. I am going to track some behaviours from user using the library. I tried to configure a property on Google Analytics, however, it seems I should configure a URL for a website, an ID for an ios or an Android application.
How can I use Google Analytics in my library? Or can GA be used for this purpose?
Thanks
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool. So you won't be able to track your JS library with GA.
If you Google “Google Analytics,” the description provided is as following:
Google Analytics lets you measure your advertising ROI and track your Flash, video, and social networking sites and applications.
JS libraries are not part of the use cases.
Also, Google “Track JS Library Google Analytics.” As you can see, you’ll only get references to libraries such as gtag.js or analytics.js, which will not serve your purpose of tracking your library.
And ask yourself, will people use your JS library when they know you are tracking them? I don't think so. Instead, create a repo on GitHub with documentation and allow users to report issues.
Also, create a mailing list with users and execute small surveys to understand better how people are using your JS library.
I have APIs. My websites, my IOS apps, and other stuffs. We uses our own stats algorithm.
Then we think we should uses google analytics instead.
However, it's API. It's not a website. No javascript should be involved. We should contact google everything something happens. Just like in android and IOS app.
Can that be done?
Is google analytics the best way to do it?
The API uses php and asp.
I don't know about the best way to do it, but for GA you can use a Measurement Protocol:

How do I integrate a Google Analytics chart displaying sessions and pageviews within my application?
You can use the Google Analytics Reporting API to export data from Analytics. You can then use a custom charting library like Highcharts to display a chart from this data.
I put together a nuget package that will let you do this. It displays google analytics data using google charts - https://www.nuget.org/packages/GoogleAnalytics.GoogleCharts.NET/
If you have questions please feel free to reach out.
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.
Basically I have an admin CP I've coded for all my sites and I'd love to integrate the information gathered by Google Analytics on it to avoid having to look at both sites every morning.
BTW I'm using PHP, but I would assume if something like this exists it would just be exported as XML.
Nope.
Here's how to use Yahoo Pipes to scrape your Analytics page
Alternatively, you can export reports and use them
There's an official API in private beta. I'm looking forward to it!

Nicolas Lierman has developed an AIR application that uses an API of his own creation to gather Google analytics data. He refuses to puplish the API though as apparently it exposes some severe security flaws in Analytics interface. Google themselves have never published an API for it.
If you really want to proceed with your plan, you'll have to reverse engineer the interface yourself.
