# example-analyticsreporting
Example for Google Analytics Reporting API v4 in golang using the [official client](https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client).
This example was written using the official examples for [java](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-java), [python](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-py)
## How to run
* Enable the API - Using steps described in https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-java,
create a private key `client_secrets.json` and download it to your file system.
Also add the new service account to the Google Analytics Account with [Read & Analyze](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2884495) permission.
* Clone the repo and install dependencies. [Glide](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) is preferred.
```
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/sudo-suhas && cd $_
$ git clone https://github.com/sudo-suhas/example-analyticsreporting.git
$ cd example-analyticsreporting
# preferred method
$ glide install
# or use `go get`
$ go get .
```
* Build the executable binary.
```
# This should generate an executable binary in the current folder
# Example example-analyticsreporting.exe on windows
$ go build .
```
* You need to pass the location of the `client_secrets.json` file
and the Google analytics view ID from the command line.
You can use the [Account Explorer](https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/account-explorer/) to find a View ID.
Additionally, you can pass the flag `--debug` for verbose logging.
Usage:
```
$ ./example-analyticsreporting.exe --help
usage: hello_analytics.exe --keyfile=KEYFILE --view-id=VIEW-ID []
Flags:
--help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and
--help-man).
-d, --debug Enable debug mode.
-k, --keyfile=KEYFILE Path to JSON key file.
-v, --view-id=VIEW-ID Google Analytics View ID.
$ ./example-analyticsreporting.exe --keyfile=E:\creds\client_secrets.json -view-id=299792458 --debug
```
## File Structure
* `hello_analytics.go` - This is the main file. It does the following:
- Create a Google Analytics Reporting API v4 service client
- Execute a GET analytics report request
- Parse and print the response using [`logrus`](https://github.com/Sirupsen/logrus/blob/master/logrus.go).
* `debug.go` - This is copied from https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/blob/master/examples/debug.go.
It is used to log the HTTP request and response to `os.Stdout` in debug mode.
* `util.go` - This has a simple utility function for tracking function execution time in debug mode.
