Overview
Google Analytics Data API (GA4) lets you query sessions, users, and conversion metrics to build custom dashboards or automate reports. Requires OAuth 2.0 with a service account.
Beginner Tip
Always use a GA4 property ID formatted as "properties/123456789" — Universal Analytics UA-* IDs will not work. Find your property ID in GA4 Admin under Property Settings.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://analyticsdata.googleapis.com/v1beta/properties/YOUR_PROPERTY_ID:runReport";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
