Using Google Analytics
The Google Analytics API allows client applications to request data, saved in the analytics accounts.
See » http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/v2/gdataOverview.html for more information about the Google Analytics API.
Retrieving account data
Using the account feed, you are able to retrieve a list of all the accounts available to a specified user.
- $service = Zend_Gdata_Analytics::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
- $client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($email, $password, $service);
- $analytics = new Zend_Gdata_Analytics($client);
- $accounts = $analytics->getAccountFeed();
- foreach ($accounts as $account) {
- echo "\n{$account->title}\n";
- }
The $analytics->getAccountFeed() call, results in a Zend_Gdata_Analytics_AccountFeed object that contains Zend_Gdata_Analytics_AccountEntry objects. Each of this objects represent a google analytics account.
Retrieving report data
Besides the account feed, google offers a data feed, to retrieve report data using the Google Analytics API. To easily request for these reports, Zend_Gdata_Analytics offers a simple query construction interface. You can use all the » metrics and dimensions specified by the API. Additionaly you can apply some » filters to retrieve some » common data or even complex results.
- $query = $service->newDataQuery()->setProfileId($profileId)
- ->addMetric(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::METRIC_BOUNCES)
- ->addMetric(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::METRIC_VISITS)
- ->addDimension(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::DIMENSION_MEDIUM)
- ->addDimension(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::DIMENSION_SOURCE)
- ->addFilter("ga:browser==Firefox")
- ->setStartDate('2011-05-01')
- ->setEndDate('2011-05-31')
- ->addSort(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::METRIC_VISITS, true)
- ->addSort(Zend_Gdata_Analytics_DataQuery::METRIC_BOUNCES, false)
- ->setMaxResults(50);
- $result = $analytics->getDataFeed($query);
- foreach($result as $row){
- }
