Google Analytics JavaScript API Utilities

This repository is a place to find utility modules for interacting with the Google Analytics APIs. The source files are available as node-style modules (in the /lib folder) and as standalone browser scripts (in the build folder). The browser versions are built with browserify and can be accessed from the global object window.gaApiUtils or by using an AMD module loader.

Installation

# Install via npm
npm install git+https://[email protected]/googleanalytics/javascript-api-utils.git

# Install via bower
npm install googleanalytics/javascript-api-utils

Usage Examples:

Note: all the examples below assume the user is authenticated and gapi.client is loaded on the page. They also assume the browser supports promises. If you're including this library on sites where modern browser usage isn't guaranteed, a Promise polyfill is required.

Account Summaries

var accountSummaries = require('javascript-api-utils/lib/account-summaries');

// Log a list of all the user's Google Analytics views to the console.
accountSummaries.get().then(function(summaries) {
  console.log(summaries.allViews());
});

Metadata

var metadata = require('javascript-api-utils/lib/metadata');

// Log a list of all the user's Google Analytics views to the console.
metadata.get().then(function(columns) {
  console.log(columns.allMetrics());
});

To see a demo of these modules in action, run the demo file on a local server on port 8080.
