Google Analytics Data for GA4 (App+Web)

Description

Fetches Google Analytics from the Data API for Google Analytics 4 (Previously App+Web)

Usage

ga_data(
  propertyId,
  metrics,
  date_range = NULL,
  dimensions = NULL,
  dim_filters = NULL,
  dimensionDelimiter = "/",
  met_filters = NULL,
  orderBys = NULL,
  limit = 100,
  page_size = 100000L,
  realtime = FALSE,
  metricAggregations = NULL,
  raw_json = NULL
)

Arguments

propertyId	A GA4 property Id
metrics	The metrics to request - see ga_meta - set to NULL to only see dimensions
date_range	A vector with start and end dates in YYYY-MM-DD format - can send in up to four date ranges at once
dimensions	The dimensions to request - see ga_meta
dim_filters	Filter on the dimensions of the request - a filter object created by ga_data_filter
dimensionDelimiter	If combining dimensions in one column, the delimiter for the value field
met_filters	Filter on the metrics of the request - a filter object created by ga_data_filter
orderBys	How to order the response - an order object created by ga_data_order
limit	The number of rows to return - use -1 to return all rows
page_size	The size of API pages - default is 100000L rows
realtime	If TRUE then will call the real-time reports, that have a more limited set of dimensions/metrics - see valid real-time dimensions
metricAggregations	Default NULL, pass in character vector of one or multiple of c("TOTAL","MAXIMUM","MINIMUM","COUNT") to return extra metadata
raw_json	You can send in the raw JSON string for a Data API request which will skip all checks

Details

This is the main function to call the Google Analytics 4 Data API.

Value

A data.frame tibble, including attributes metadata, metricAggregations and rowCount. Use ga_data_aggregations to extract the data.frames of metricAggregations

# add ordering
