Collect the statics specified by the configuration from google analytics
The first thing that must be done when using this collector is to authorise the application with google. First you will need
to generate an authorisation code.
This code then needs to be passed to the collector command line script using --authorisation_code=CODE
{
"envelope":{
"collected_at":"2012-08-13T18:09:20+01:00",
"collector":"Google Analytics"
},
"payload":{
"start_at":"2012-07-29T00:00:00+00:00",
"end_at":"2012-08-05T00:00:00+00:00",
"value":32199,
"site":"govuk"
}
}
This collector is run from the command line with the collector script. This command requires an action which
can be either help, print or broadcast. It also requires a --config option which defines which configuration
class is used. For example the following command will print messages to the terminal using the WeeklyUniqueVisitors
configuration.
$ bundle exec collector --config=WeeklyUniqueVisitors print
--days_ago: This option allows you to collect all data since a given time ago. The frequency will depend on the
configuration you use.
--authorisation_code: Pass in the code to authorise this project with Google.
