I don't know how much functionality the Google Analytics Management Api provides but it seems like you can extract some data on your accounts ...

I want to create a SaaS, for this I need my customers' Google Analytics data. Can I do this? Is something like this possible? I found the Management API, but I don't know if I can do it, I don't even understand it. Thanks
In order to request Google analytics data you need to use serval different apis. But the first thing you need to understand is that there are two versions of google analytics these days Universal analytics and Ga4. They are not interchangeable.
Universal analytics
The management api will give you access to see what universal analytics google analytics accounts that the user has access to. This is just the accounts and users. It is not the data itself within a universal analytics account.
To see the data within a universal analytics account you need to use the Google analytics reporting api. This api will allow you to extract universal analytics data on behalf of your users.
Ga4
As for the GA4 accounts. you would need to use the Google analytics admin api to access account information. The Google analytics data api will give you access to the data within a GA4 account.
Note: at the time of writing both of the GA4 apis are still in Beta.
authorization.
All of these systems will require that you have the consent of a user on the account in order to access their data. So you will need to implement Oauth2 authentication and request access with the appropriate google analytics scope.
Management API is irrelevant. If you need the data, you need the Reporting API. It's here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4
It requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. Here's more on it: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
I want to display my statistics. I know how to use basicaly the Google Analytics API.
The user will authentificate with google
The user will see HIS statistics from his account.
But what I want is to show my statistics. I really don't understand the goal of the API f I can't display the statistics from my account to other users.
If you want to integrate the Google Analytics API with your application, you must have a Google API console project and enable Analytics API. For more details Google Analytics API Integration & Example
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.
I need to create a script (php for example) to generate new sites on a google analytics account.
I need to obtain the ID of the generated site.
¿It is possible to do it? How can i achieve it?
Thanks
No. All of the Google Analytics APIs are read-only. The only way to create new accounts is manually.
As #jk added below, from the Google Analytics Management API docs:
Google Analytics provides developer access to the configuration data
through the Management API, which is a read-only API for account and
configuration data.
I want to track my site visitors and i think google analytics is fulfill my requirement but i want to access complete google analytics from my server how's this possible.
