QueryBuilder: The main builder class for constructing URI requests.

In noahhl/r-google-analytics: R Handler for importing Google Analytics information from the Google Analytics API

Description

The main builder class for constructing URI requests. This function lists all the elements and parameters that make up a data feed request. In general, you provide the table ID corresponding to the profile you want to retrieve data from, choose the combination of dimensions and metrics, and provide a date range along with other parameters in a query string. More detailed information on each parameter can be found on the below: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/ gdata/gdataReferenceDataFeed.html#dataRequest We use a builder method to construct the final query for data checking and exceptions, rather than raw strings. This also enables us to scale the parameters map in later versions. All the parameter values that are accepted for a profile can be found by looking at the metrics available in the GetProfileData() function.

Value

builder: The builder method function to process the parameters.

Examples

# An example of using this construction pattern is shown below.
# Set the relevant variable information, if the variable is optional, you
# do not need to specify it in the construction or simply place it as NULL.
# query <- QueryBuilder()
# query$Init(start.date = "2010-05-01",
# end.date = "2010-08-20",
# dimensions = "ga:date",
# metrics = "ga:visits",
# sort = "ga:date",
# table.id = "ga:30661272")
# ga.data <- ga$GetRDataFromQuery(query)
