This repo is the new home for the RGoogleAnalytics library migrated from Google Code SVN
RGoogleAnalytics is a R Wrapper around the Google Analytics API. It allows fast and easy data extraction in R so that further statistical analysis can be run on the data
-
Provides Access to v3 of the Google Analytics Core Reporting API
-
Ability to pull more than 10,000 rows of data in batches via pagination of queries
-
Ability to mitigate the effect of Query Sampling by splitting the date-range of queries and hence extract (nearly) unsampled data
-
Supports authorization via OAuth 2.0
-
In cases where queries are sampled, the output also returns the percentage of sessions that were used for the query
To get the current released version from CRAN:
install.packages("RGoogleAnalytics")To get the current development version from github:
# require(devtools)
devtools::install_github("Tatvic/RGoogleAnalytics")-
httr handles the underlying OAuth2.0 Authorization flow and the API requests
-
lubridate handles the date manipulation logic underlying Query Partitioning
Work on RGoogleAnalytics was started by Michael Pearmain at Google. He was supported by Nick Mihailowski (Google) and Vignesh Prajapati (Tatvic).
