See the documentation for further informations: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2, _(*2)

Install via Composer

Just add the following line in your composer.json and update your dependencies via running composer update command. "shahariaazam/google-analytics-api-php": "dev-master", _(*3)

1. Basic Setup

• Create a Project in the Google APIs Console: https://code.google.com/apis/console/
• Enable the Analytics API under Services
• Under API Access: Create an Oauth 2.0 Client-ID
• Give a Product-Name, choose Web Application or Service Account depending on your needs
• Web Application: Set a redirect-uri in the project which points to your apps url
• Service Account: Download the private key (.p12 file)

2. Set up Auth

Depending on the chosen application type, the setup is slightly different. This section describes both ways independently., _(*4)

Web applications

<?php
require dirname(__FILE__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';
require dirname(__FILE__) . '/settings.php';

use Google\Api\Analytics;

$client_id = $config['clientID'];
$client_secret = $config['clientSecret'];
$redirect_uri = $config['redirectURI'];
$account_id = $config['accountID'];

session_start();

$ga = new Analytics();
$ga->auth->setClientId($client_id);
$ga->auth->setClientSecret($client_secret);
$ga->auth->setRedirectUri($redirect_uri);

$ga->prepareToken();

$ga->setAccessToken($_SESSION['oauth_access_token']);
$ga->setAccountId($account_id);

Query the Google Analytics API

Once you have a valid accessToken and an Account-ID, you can query the Google Analytics API. You can set some default Query Parameters that will be executed with every query., _(*5)

$defaults = array(
    'start-date' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-1 month')),
    'end-date' => date('Y-m-d'),
);
$ga->setDefaultQueryParams($defaults);

$params = array(
    'metrics' => 'ga:visits',
    'dimensions' => 'ga:date',
);
$visits = $ga->query($params);

print "

";
var_dump($visits);
print "

";
