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

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.
I am trying to use Multi-Channel Funnels Reporting API with a GA4 account, but since there is no viewid parameter in GA4 I cant call the API.
I have tried to use propertid instead of viewid but I come up to a insufficientPermissions 403 error.
I also cant find any documentation about the migration of MCF API to the new GA4.
The call i am making is to
https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/mcf?access_token=TOKEN&ids=ga:189118519&start-date=2020-11-23&end-date=2020-11-29&metrics=mcf%3AtotalConversions%2Cmcf%3AtotalConversionValue&dimensions=mcf%3AsourcePath&filters=mcf%3AconversionGoalNumber%3D%3D001&samplingLevel=HIGHER_PRECISION&max-results=10000
You need to understand that universal analytics and GA4 are completely different systems. They can not be compared, and an api that worked on universal analytics does not support GA4
The call you are making is to the Multi-Channel Funnels Reporting API Works with universal analytics.
To my knowledge there is no equivalate yet that works with GA4 accounts
For GA4 we currently have two bata APIs, which are subject to change often.
Data api equivalent to the reporting api v4 for universal analytics.
Admin api GA4 equivalent to the management api for universal analytics
To my knowledge there is no MCF api for GA4
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 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:
