To access summary information of the Management API Google Analytics RGA package provides the following functions:

• list_accounts() - Lists all accounts which the user has access to;
• list_webproperties() - Lists web properties which the user has access to;
• list_profiles() - Lists views (profiles) which the user has access to;

• list_goals() - Lists goals which the user has access to;
• list_segments() - Lists segments which the user has access to;

Each of these functions return a table of data (data.frame) with the relevant content.

The functions such as list_webproperties(), list_profiles() and list_goals() can be specified with the additional arguments such as accountId, webPropertyId or profileId which are required to obtain the information for specific account, resource or profile (view the help pages for the corresponding functions). This is an example of obtaining the information on all views (profiles):
