Output of Google Analytics reports of my site - rss

I have a website that using google analytics for statistics.
I want to show my top posts in last month in my blog.
Can I have an output of its in rss or xml format?

I am familiar with two ways of making this happen.
You could implement the Google Analytics API and export the data in the desired format
You could schedule exports of that data in CSV format and have it sent to an email inbox. Then either manually or through some automated routine, pull the CSV attachment and publish it to your site.
I hope this helps get you going.

I want real time user wise data with export feature to save it in my database. I have gone through many platform like mouseflow but they do not provide data user wise. Is anyone have idea how can I implement this?

Export Google Analytics UTM measures to spreadsheet

My team is creating several UTM links and we would like to achieve better understanding of our campaigns through a google spreadsheet.
Our spreadsheet lets us prepare easily new UTM links, but we would also like to gather data related to the activity of those UTM links, that we would otherwise have to get through google analytics and selecting the right parameters
Is it possible to add an extra column(s) that would automatically retrieve such information from Google Analytics ? Maybe a script that we can run once in a while, and that would pull the number of clicks GA has registered for every UTM link ?
Online I have found some scripts to assist UTM link generation, but nothing about actually retrieving/exporting the results automatically to a spreadsheet.
The most straightforward way would be to use the Google Analytics Spreadsheets Add-On and filter (or segment) by your campaign (utm) information. You can configure multiple independent reports for different campaigns and set a trigger to have it updated automatically in regular intervals.

Can Google Analytics pull historical data?

Trying to dig in to GA here. I have a site built on a wiki platform (confluence) that has not had any GA setup prior. Trying to see if I could do something crafty with the GAPI to pull historical data as the site has been up for some ~3 years.
Is there any way to pull data if GA was not set up on any of the pages, or am I SOL? Took a gander at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference but didn't see a clear answer
I have only used Google Analytics to track data as it comes in. If you have the historical data stored somewhere, you could probably write a script to iterate over the standard ga script and send off trackpageviews with the data you want, but unless you or someone else actually have the usage data tracked somewhere, you won't be able to materialize it out of thin air.

How to remove percentage of total from Google Analytics custom reports

My company is attempting to send scheduled custom referral traffic reports to some of our affiliates and we would very much like to hide/remove the "% of total" values that are appended below visits and transactions so that our affiliates don't have to know what our total site visits and transactions are.
The totals aren't included in the Excel versions of the reports, but we want to use PDFs.
At the top of your Google Analytics page you will find Customization you can create a custom report for this.
Under type: pick Flat table it wont display totals.
If you click on the link below you should be able to import the dummy report into your Google Analytics and see what I have done. If you try and save this report as PDF you wont see Totals. This is a simple example just using Referral path and visits. You can add filters to it as well so that you are only sending the information you want to the different affiliates.

Seeing cost data in analytics reports

I've created a Custom Data Uploader script
which is uploading data to my google analytics profile.
I can see it's working and its uploading the file. I can see it on the "Custom Definitions" Tab in the Profile page. (Second picture on the link I attached).
But I cant see the data on the reports.
I tried to look under Traffic Sources -> Overview, it should be there from what I thought.
Where can I find this data in the reports?
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/platform/features/cost-data-import
The Traffic Sources > Cost Analysis report should contain your data, but it can take 12 hours for the data on a new feed to show up. However, I've found that subsequent loads are usually much faster.
