Is there Google Data Protocol for Google Code? I want a programmatic way to retrieve data (such as My favorites of an user, project information, etc.) from it.
I saw on the API Directory that Google Data Protocol currently does not have Google Code (besides Issue Tracker API) yet. If so, are there other approaches to retrieve those data?
Thank you.

I trying to find a better solution than google analytics to create dashboards for visually representing custom data.
My use case is that I need something to track and record custom data that is not passed in through custom web events into google analytics.
I was able to find a hacky solution to the problem initially by running a periodic function over my data on firebase and sending it as custom events to google-analytics. (I mention the approach in this answer. The linked blog post gives further details.)
The problem that I faced was that it wasn't always reliable as although the function did run successfully every day, the data was not shown in the google analytics dashboard.
The data I to visualize is gathered as further insights by writing basic code on existing data
I am aware that it is possible to integrate google analytics for various use cases like even the smallest button click, but I am trying to either send custom events( raised outside of the application by running cron jobs or scheduled functions ) through some API call or maybe directly save and update the data in some other place where there is direct access to visualization
Does anyone know a better solution?
The Google Analytics Measurement Protocol allows developers to make HTTP requests to send raw user interaction data directly to Google Analytics servers, so you can use it to send your data generate outside your application:

So I will try to explain myself the best I can, and I would really appreciate any help!
May main Goal here is to export FireBase data to a DataStudio. I know how easy this is, just link FireBase to BigQuery and create a DataStudio with this data source. There's even already an awesome template for this.
But is not that simple, I work at an agency, this is a huge corporate client and their internal people work is a mess.
The problem here is: I can get "property" access to Firebase, and I have linked my Bigquery account to this project, but what I can't see is the whole app information in Bigquery.
What I see is the data from "crashalytics", "messaging", "performance" and predictions.
But can't seem to find the "normal info" off the app, the events, conversions, audiences, etc...
This is where I can't understand some things that I would like you to help me with, I have some theories.
In the configuration of bigquery integration on firebase I have every switch marked as "On" but one, the analytics one.
enter image description here
Now here is where all my questions come:
- ¿Do I need this switch to be on so I can visualize, for example Events or users information on Bigquery?
If so, what is the realtion between Firebase and Google Analytics?:
- ¿Is it necesary to have a Google Analytics account integrated with the Firebase project in order for bigquery to extract the data and show it?
- ¿Can I extract directly through firebase the data without Google analytics?
And an extra one: If I remove the Google Analytics account from my Firebase project, and add a new one, ¿Would the new Google Analytics also have the data so I can extract it with Bigquery and build my panel?
The biggest problem here is that this Firebase account was created long ago, and the client haves no idea what Google Analytics account is Linked to the Firebase project, they know nobody with acces to it, and they say "I'ts an old analytics, we only need Firebase information to show on datastudio" but I'm starting to feel this is not possible without this Google Analytics acces.
Pleaaase some help with this.
Thank you very much in advance.
I solved it, if anybody comes to this problem, the problem was I needed permision to the analytics web + app created from firebase.
I know how to use the Google API to access different metrics and dimensions to query for specific data. However, I am faced with a different scenario. I would like to know if there is any mechanism to access the reports/custom reports that are already created using the Google Analytics web user interface.
Our client has created about 15 different reports and now wants us to simply get the data into his own database rather than having to log into the Google Analytics website and run the report and export the data.
Can anyone please guide me on this?
Not sure if this is exactly what you are thinking, but you can always use the Reporting API to extract the data using python/javascript/etc and then store the data locally in your database. For more info, check out the Google Analytics Query Explorer and try out different combinations of dimensions and metrics to be able to extract the data. You can then use any number of different Core Reporting API Client libraries to access the analytics database.
We're want to query Google Analytics remotely, to retrieve (and display) a list of most popular pages (in a certain period) on a website. The examples I've looked at, for querying Analytics using Javascript, seem to require an user/person to login. Is this correct? Is there a way of skipping this step, and querying Analtyics unattended?
Thanks,
Toby
No. the data inside Google Analytics is potentially strategic and the tool doesn't provide non-logged in access at any time.
In order to do what you want the best approach is probably to query the data using your credentials on the server side and store the data on a database. Run that again every night or so.
Then you just query the database and generate the count to display on the frontend.
You don't want to do that on javascript because you would be exposing your credentials to anyone visiting your site to query all your Google Analytics data.
I work in a small company and we - as many others = use google analytics to monitor how well/bad our site is doing.
To access this information we put the google account's details (username and pwd) and off we go.
I now want to share this information with one of my clients but I don't want to give him my google account.
can anybody suggest the best way or the best practices to achieve this ?
Many Thanks

Given that you want to "publish it", you might want to extract the relevant data via the Google Analytics API, which provides read-only access, works just like an ordinary Google Data API--this way you can serve it from your own Site without restriction.
That still leaves the presentation of that data, but at least you have complete control over it.
the client can give you HIS account and you give his account view rights
You create anothe rgoogle account just for read only access, give it read access to your google analytics and send the password that client.
I dont really see the issue here ;)
Check out EmbeddedAnalytics. This is a service tailored specifically to allow you to define nice looking charts against your Google Analytics data and then embed them on to your site. The service utilizes the Google Analytics API.
(disclosure: I work with EmbeddedAnalytics).
You may now use Google Analytics Embed API for the purpose. Clients still do need to have Google account.
