Google Analytics api - Browse pages by URL

Question

I was able to launch the "hello" application from the Google Analytics api:

function getFirstProfileId($analytics) { // Get the user first view (profile) ID. // Get the list of accounts for the authorized user. $accounts = $analytics->management_accounts->listManagementAccounts(); if (count($accounts->getItems()) > 0) { $items = $accounts->getItems(); $firstAccountId = $items[0]->getId(); // Get the list of properties for the authorized user. $properties = $analytics->management_webproperties ->listManagementWebproperties($firstAccountId); if (count($properties->getItems()) > 0) { $items = $properties->getItems(); $firstPropertyId = $items[0]->getId(); // Get the list of views (profiles) for the authorized user. $profiles = $analytics->management_profiles->listManagementProfiles($firstAccountId, $firstPropertyId); if (count($profiles->getItems()) > 0) { $items = $profiles->getItems(); // Return the first view (profile) ID. return $items[0]->getId(); } else { throw new Exception('No views (profiles) found for this user.'); } } else { throw new Exception('No properties found for this user.'); } } else { throw new Exception('No accounts found for this user.'); } } function getResults($analytics, $profileId) { // Calls the Core Reporting API and queries for the number of sessions // for the last seven days. return $analytics->data_ga->get( 'ga:' . $profileId, '7daysAgo', 'today', 'ga:sessions' ); } 

This returns pageviews for the (entire) account. But I would like to get pageviews (for the entire range) for a specific URL ,

I am trying to find how to do this, but the most similar page I found seems to be written in a different syntax. Therefore, I do not know how to enter these parameters in the current application.

Any thoughts?

- EDIT -

For more information, the previous code prints:

But this code (with the "syntax" of the previously provided link)

 function getReport($analytics) { // Replace with your view ID, for example XXXX. $VIEW_ID = "40xxxyyy9"; // I got it from The Google Account Explorer // Create the DateRange object. $dateRange = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_DateRange(); $dateRange->setStartDate("7daysAgo"); $dateRange->setEndDate("today"); // Create the Metrics object. $sessions = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_Metric(); $sessions->setExpression("ga:sessions"); $sessions->setAlias("sessions"); // Create the ReportRequest object. $request = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_ReportRequest(); $request->setViewId($VIEW_ID); $request->setDateRanges($dateRange); $request->setMetrics(array($sessions)); $body = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_GetReportsRequest(); $body->setReportRequests( array( $request) ); return $analytics->reports->batchGet( $body ); } function printResults($reports) { for ( $reportIndex = 0; $reportIndex < count( $reports ); $reportIndex++ ) { $report = $reports[ $reportIndex ]; $header = $report->getColumnHeader(); $dimensionHeaders = $header->getDimensions(); $metricHeaders = $header->getMetricHeader()->getMetricHeaderEntries(); $rows = $report->getData()->getRows(); for ( $rowIndex = 0; $rowIndex < count($rows); $rowIndex++) { $row = $rows[ $rowIndex ]; $dimensions = $row->getDimensions(); $metrics = $row->getMetrics(); for ($i = 0; $i < count($dimensionHeaders) && $i < count($dimensions); $i++) { print($dimensionHeaders[$i] . ": " . $dimensions[$i] . "\n"); } for ($j = 0; $j < count( $metricHeaders ) && $j < count( $metrics ); $j++) { $entry = $metricHeaders[$j]; $values = $metrics[$j]; print("Metric type: " . $entry->getType() . "\n" ); for ( $valueIndex = 0; $valueIndex < count( $values->getValues() ); $valueIndex++ ) { $value = $values->getValues()[ $valueIndex ]; print($entry->getName() . ": " . $value . "\n"); } } } } } 

Prints out:

  Uncaught exception 'Google_Service_Exception' with message '{ "error": { "code": 403, "message": "Google Analytics Reporting API has not been used in project api-project-395xxxxxxx2105 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/overview?project=api-project-395xxxxxxx2105 then retry. 

And if I follow the console link to my project. This let me know that this is already included (otherwise the first code in the question should not work)

Answer 1

Your example actually returns the number of sessions, not pageviews. Thus, in order to get the number of page views for Url, you need to: a) change ga: sessions to ga: pageViews and b) apply a filter that limits the data to the expected Url.

Filters can be applied by passing them as part of an array of optional parameters, so you need to slightly change your function ( this is mainly taken from the documentation ):

 function getResults($analytics, $profileId) { $optParams = array( 'filters' => 'ga: pagePath=@ /my/url' ); return $analytics->data_ga->get( 'ga:' . $profileId, '7daysAgo', 'today', 'ga:pageViews', $optParams ); } 

IIRC =@ should be a partial match in the filter (otherwise refer to the documentation), and of course you need to change "/ my / url" to your actual URL.

Also pay attention to my comments about different versions of the API.
