Gapy is a thin service account client for Google Analytics.
First you need to create either a service account or client ID in your Google API Console. If you're authenticating as a service account you'll need to download your private key.
If you're authenticating as a web or installed application you'll need to download your client secrets file. Use the Google Developers Console to do this:
- Create a Project for thte application, and add the Analytics API to the Enabled APIs list.
- In "Credentials", click "Create new Client ID".
- Choose "Installed Application" and type should be "Other".
- Once it's generated your ID, click the new "Download JSON" button and save this file as client_secrets.json.
Then just create a gapy client and start querying.
- storage_path is the location where you want gapy to keep the storage.db file that it will generate the first time it runs.
- Ids, metrics and dimensions can be provided as lists or single values.
This library is a layer over the Google Python API. If you wish to work on it, it may be necessary to consult the Google Analytics API documentation.
