Configuration with data Sampling

{
  "parameters": {
    "retriesCount": 1,
    "properties": [
      {
        "accountKey": "accounts/ACCOUNT_ID",
        "accountName": "ACCOUNT_NAME",
        "propertyKey": "properties/PROPERTY_ID",
        "propertyName": "PROPERTY_NAME"

        }
      ],
      "dimensions": [
        {

        }
      ],
      "filtersExpression": "",
      "dateRanges": [
        {

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note that this extractor is using Keboola OAuth Bundle to store OAuth credentials.

Sampling

Two algorithms are implemented to fight sampling

• dailyWalk
• adaptive - for profile reports only

Development

Clone this repository and init the workspace with following command

git clone git@github.com:keboola/google-analytics-extractor.git
cd google-analytics-extractor
docker compose build
docker compose run --rm dev composer install --no-interaction

You will need working OAuth credentials.

• Go to Googles OAuth 2.0 Playground.
• In the configuration (the cog wheel on the top right side) check Use your own OAuth credentials and paste your OAuth Client ID and secret.
• Go through the authorization flow and generate Access and Refresh tokens.
• Set viewId environment variable to the Google Analytics profile id, you want to run your tests against.

Create and fill up .env from previous step.

CLIENT_ID=
CLIENT_SECRET=
REFRESH_TOKEN=
ACCESS_TOKEN=
VIEW_ID=

Run the test suite using this command:

docker compose run --rm dev composer tests
