I just created a WordPress site and imported all the information from Blogger account. My question is if is possible to import the Blogger stats to Google Analytics account ?
No. While it is by now possible to augment collected data retroactively with external data you cannot import existing data into an empty account (you could store your blogger data to a file and pipe that via the measurement protocol to Analytics, but since you cannot set a date when you send a hit all the data will show up on the same day, so that's useless for your purposes).

Context: I wish to collect real-time, hit-level clickstream data from a website that will ideally pushed into an AWS kinesis data stream (or elsewhere). This is to build a machine learning software for a client that already has Adobe analytics and Google analytics implemented on their website.
Question: Instead of building a tracking code that tracks the clickstream data and pushes it to our own AWS Kinesis data stream or some form of storage under our control, the goal is to piggy-back the tracking code (already implemented by Adobe and Google analytics) that sends a duplicate of the tracked data directly into an AWS kinesis stream. I understand that there are ways to export certain a certain granularity of data from google and adobe analytics (once it's already arrived in these platforms) but these export options don't really satisfy the requirement of raw, unprocessed, hit-level, real-time clickstream data.
Is it possible to modify the tracking code in a way that a duplicate of the tracked data can be redirected to a custom route, ideally AWS Kinesis?
As I understand it, the analytics tracking code is essentially Javascript code (tag) embedded in the website that imports a method from a URL that does the event tracking and the uploading. If I could redirect the data at this point in the already implemented analytics stage then I could get the real-time raw data that I need.
I haven't figured out a way to create and redirect a duplicate of the tracked data by modification of this tag. I doubt the imported method is customisable if it is imported from an adobe or google automatically created URL?
Any detailed answers or even links to information would be helpful,
Thanks.
Any ideas how I get historical data out of Google Analytics?
My problem here is I didn't realise the Firebase / Analytics export to BigQuery wasn't retrospective for history, so I only have data from when I turned on the integration and I need everything from when the Firebase App was launched. The main data I need is events with their parameters.
I have tried a few things:
Connect PowerBI to Google Analytics. I can authenticate and it only
shows "Default Account for Firebase" with no children - it doesn't
show the apps underneath that account.
https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/ has the same
problem (not showing child properties).
I can load the
properties and therefore analytics dataset using Google Data Studio,
but this does not have the functionality I require that is in Power
BI. I also couldn't locate the event parameters which I need either.
Any ideas on how to export the data?
You can try to use Google Analytics Data API to export report programmatically: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1
However the data are not raw like with BigQuery Export. So if you want raw data there are no solution for the historical data.
I have multiple websites on my Google Analytics account, I accidentally added "Website1" analytics code to "Website 2".
I just noticed this after 3 months of logs.
Website 2 has no data logged, and the first website has all the second website data.
1- Can I import the second website data from Website 1 to Website 2 account.
2- Can I filter the data in Website 1 account to filter all data coming with the second website domain.
Ad 1, no.
There is an API to export data, however this will allow you to export aggregated data only. You cannot get at the raw hits. Even if you could, there would be no way to import them (you cannot create hits via data imports, and you cannot resend hits that happened in the past since you cannot set a date on a request that sends data to GA).
As 2, partly yes.
You cannot permanently remove historical data from Google Analytics. However you can use a segment to hide it in the data that is already collected, and you can set a view filter (in the view settings of the admin section) to prevent new hits from the wrong domain to be collected. Both the segment and the filter would work on the hostname field (by either excluding the wrong domain, or specifically only including the correct domain).
Is there a way to import 3rd party page view data to Google Analytics?
For example, if I have file download information from my server logs, could I put the information on Google Analytics and have it show up in the standard reports or a custom report alongside the existing pageview data already provided by Analytics?
Yes, but you need to do it within 4 hours of the hit being logged. Take a look at the GA measurement protocol. The hour limit is due to the qt param (milliseconds from hit to api upload).
What you're looking for is Data Import:
Data Import lets you upload data from external sources and combine it
with data you collect via Google Analytics. You can then use Google
Analytics to organize and analyze all of your data in ways that better
reflect your business.
Detailed information: About Data Import.
We have certain amount of clients and each of us will have their pages on our website. We have to show them the analytics for their particular page. For this, we have the data on Google Analytics according to pages.
On the client admin page, they should be able to view the analytics for their page. This has to be coming from Google Analytics.
I have tried using the Core Reporting Api, but that needs an authentication and one should have access to Google Analytics profile, which is not possible for clients.
So now, Is there a way, where the client can see the dashboard with data being pulled form Google Analytics without any authentication?
No, authentication is required to pull data directly from Google. You could use one 'global' Google account and keep that account authenticated through code so that your users can access that data.
Only other option I've seen is to automate the export of the CSV data (via email) and have a routine that pulls off the CSV data and imports it into a system for public/private use - such as in your example.
Hope this helps!
