Google Analytics API Read-only

GAReadOnly is a simple wrapper to get the data out of google analytics using the API.

In order to make the gem works, you'll have few configuration steps to do in your Google API Console.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gareadonly'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gareadonly

To install the initializer file execute:

$ rails g gareadonly

GAReadonly.connect
pageviews = GAReadonly.get_analytics_data({'start-date' => '2014-01-01', 'end-date' => 'yesterday', 'metrics' => 'ga:pageviews', 'dimensions' => 'ga:date'})
puts "We had #{pageviews.totalsForAllResults['ga:pageviews']} since the 2014-01-01'

To connect to the Google API, you'll need to run GAReadonly.connect. In therory you only need to run it ounce. The connection is persistant.

Currently the only query available is get_analytics_data. It takes an hash as argument. The following hash will retrieve all the page views since the begining of the year 2014 GAReadonly.get_analytics_data({'start-date' => '2014-01-01', 'end-date' => 'yesterday', 'metrics' => 'ga:pageviews', 'dimensions' => 'ga:date'})
