Having trouble with realtime

[Thermatix]

I have access to the realtime API (already requested it).

When I try to access it however, legato just errors.

If I try this:

rt_query = Data.realtime
data = rt_query.map {|item| item}

I get an error about user being nil, to fix that I had to do this:

rt_query.profile = profile

If I try any of the following:

rt_query = Data.realtime
rt_query.profile = profile
data = rt_query.map {|item| item}

data= Data.results(profile).realtime.map {|item| item}

data = Data.page_title($config['model']['title_filter'],profile).realtime.map {|item| item }

I get an error about "message"=>"Required parameter: metrics"

which makes no sense becuase accourding to this, google analytics realtime has no metrics, still I try supplying them (in the model of course)and I get errors that the metrics don't exists (no suprise) and all the metrics in the message are pre-fixed with ga:.

I've followed the help doc, what am I doing wrong?

What does your Data class look like?

Metrics are the numeric values, so it has to have some metric. I think that page just has terrible styling. If you look at the page tracking doc, it shows pageviews as a metric:

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/dimsmets/pagetracking#rt:pageviews

[Thermatix]

It looks like this:

class Data
    extend ::Legato::Model
    filter :page_title,  &lambda {|title| matches(:page_title,title)}
    # metrics *$config['model_realtime']['metrics'].map(&:to_sym) 
    dimensions *$config['model_realtime']['dimensions'].map(&:to_sym)
end

[tpitale]

Have you tried with metrics? Try pageviews, just to see what happens.

[Thermatix]

I just get this error response:

{"errors"=>[{"domain"=>"global", "reason"=>"badRequest", "message"=>"No such dimension(s): ga:activeUsers\nNo such metric(s): ga:pageview"}], "code"=>400, "message"=>"No such dimension(s): ga:activeUsers\nNo such metric(s): ga:pageview"}:  (OAuth2::Error)
{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"badRequest","message":"No such dimension(s): ga:activeUsers\nNo such metric(s): ga:pageview"}],"code":400,"message":"No such dimension(s): ga:activeUsers\nNo such metric(s): ga:pageview"}}

[tpitale]

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/dimsmets/user activeUsers is a metric …

[tpitale]

Also, it's pageviews, plural for the metric.

[Thermatix]

 {"errors"=>[{"domain"=>"global", "reason"=>"badRequest", "message"=>"Unknown metric(s): ga:pageviews, ga:activeUsers"}], "code"=>400, "message"=>"Unknown metric(s): ga:pageviews, ga:activeUsers"}:  (OAuth2::Error)
{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"badRequest","message":"Unknown metric(s): ga:pageviews, ga:activeUsers"}],"code":400,"message":"Unknown metric(s): ga:pageviews, ga:activeUsers"}}

Same response.

I think that legato is trying to pull from google analytics rather then real time, I don't know why though.

[tpitale]

Yes, it should be rt:pageviews. I need to know what you're specifically running to get that error.

[Thermatix]

what do you mean specifically running?

[tpitale]

You gave multiple examples of code in the original issue comment … which are you running now?

[Thermatix]

currently just:

data = rt_query.map {|item| item}

[tpitale]

What does:

puts rt_query.realtime?
puts rt_query.tracking_scope

Output?

Which version of Legato?

[Thermatix]

They both output as expected:

true
rt

version 0.4.0.
I wonder, perhaps they (google) haven't authorised the API like I thought they were supposed to have?

[tpitale]

This is due to some missing documentation. Rather than fixing that, I'm going to make Legato not require setting the tracking_scope option on metrics/dimensions. Gimme a few and I'll cut a new gem.

[Thermatix]

I helped?

Any way, I'm a little confused, what do you mean?

[tpitale]

I'm just making it work :-)

[tpitale]

If you need this to be fixed right now … pass a hash to metrics or dimenions with {tracking_scope: 'rt'} as the last value. This will break when I release the next version of the gem in a few minutes.

[tpitale]

Please try newly released v0.5.0.

[Thermatix]

I will, and thanks, and again, sorry for being rude, it really wasn't my intention to be so.
