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:

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.
Google analytics reporting api - Gives access to extract data from Universal analytics accounts
Google analytics api - is a little harder to nail down. It almost sounds like it gives access to extract data and and configure google analytics data. Which would imply that its management api for for universal analytics Google analytics admin api and possibly the reporting api as well.
Google analytics data api - used to extract data from Google analytics ga4 accounts
What I need is to report on the data for a 3rd party site/account
Im not sure what you mean by this. None of those are for sending data to google analytics. To send data to google analytics. you would use one of the collection options.

Found this google analytics API for user activity. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/user-reporting
Does it provide real time data? Is there another API which we can use to get this information real time for the user based on the google analytics User_ID or Client_ID?
Real-time traffic source information is unavailable via Analytics APIs. Also using APIs for this purpose would be hardly practical because of API limitations and quotas.
You might get some very close results with alternatives like sourcebuster.js but note that this wouldn't provide you with Google Ads synced data
I'm currently working on a reporting module using Google Analytics API (v4) linked to a Google Adwords account.
While it does manage to query data based on a selection of criteria from the Google Dimension and Metrics Explorer from a linked Google Adwords account, I am unable to query data such as Click Type Performance (the one that shows Headline, Sitelink, etc) or Ad Extension Performance from Adwords through the GA API.
I do know that Google Adwords API is able to provide reporting functionality as well but is the API thorough enough to pull data such as Click Type Performance and Ad Extension Performance?
In other words, what does Google Adwords reporting API provide that GA API linked to a Google Adwords account can't do?
The Google Analytics is a website for displaying analytics about web and mobile applications. Google Adwords is is an online advertising website. they are two different systems.
The Google Analytics API can only return to you Google Analitcs data. That being limited to the dimensions and metrics found in the Google Dimension and Metrics Explorer.
The Adwords API can only return to you data for adwords.
What does Google Adwords reporting API provide that GA API linked to a Google Adwords account can't do?
Adwords returns analitics based upon the ads you are currently running. Google analytics api returns your website analytics data.
I am currently querying my Google Analytics data using the Google Analytics API via R.
I would like to query based on the unique client ID as my primary dimension, but I can't find this dimension using the API.
Is it possible to query Google analytics from the API using the client Id as a dimensions?
Update: Client ID is now available in Google Analytics Core Reporting api as ga:clientId.
I've added it in my script and works seamlessly.
Query explorer doesn't support it yet, hopefully soon...
The only dimensions and metrics that you can use with the Google Analytics API can be found in the Dimensions and metrics explorer you could also check the metadata API.
As you can see client id is not a valid dimension exposed via the Google Analytics API. You could set this in a custom dimension yourself however for it to work your going to have to make sure that its set on every single request you send to Google Analytics.
then you can use the custom dimension metadata
update
As of late 2018 early 2019 it is now possible to query ga:clientid from the google analytics api.
I am looking for a streaming/real-time API for Google Analytic any source of reference or documentation ?
It is. Now Google has launched new Real Time API for Google Analytics. This API is very similar to Google Analytics API. Which extracts the Google Analytics real time data in the given dimensions and metrics
To start development on this API, you can get API parameters from here
