Consider generating alpha APIs in addition to beta

Hey @kevmoo

I'm in the process of building a web app with Flutter to help create and manage A/B tests and other kinds of experiences.

Part of that work involves using the Google Analytics 4 Admin API to create and archive the concept of an Audience as per the official integration documentation outlined here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/integration

However, it seems that this is only available in the Google Analytics Admin Alpha API as outlined here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/admin/v1/rest/v1alpha/properties.audiences?hl=en#Audience

My ideal scenario here is to be able to just use the existing googleapis package to do this and call it a day but we are currently only offering beta and stable APIs at the moment.

So I wanted to ask if you might be open to also generating the alpha APIs as well?

I'd also be open to your thoughts on what my options would look like here if for any reason that doesn't work for your goals with this package. The only workarounds I have identified so far are:

  • Move this to the server and use gRPC as a way to autogenerated those libraries (unclear how things like oauth permission scopes work here, it seems like a lot of work unfortunately at first glance).
  • Not use Flutter and instead look at JS as an option.

I could enable this API and publish if it unblocks you in the beta API set.

I've been avoiding publishing beta unless folks ask for it.

Amazing, thank you, let me do some prototyping over the next few days and I will get back to you if anything is missing but based on everything I know at the moment this is exactly what I need thank you again.
