Method: reports.batchGet

Returns the Analytics data.

HTTP request

POST https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/v4/reports:batchGet

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation
{
  "reportRequests": [
    {
      object(ReportRequest)
    }
  ],
  "useResourceQuotas": boolean

}
Fields
viewId

string

The Analytics view ID from which to retrieve data. Every ReportRequest within a batchGet method must contain the same viewId.

dateRanges[]

object(DateRange)

Date ranges in the request. The request can have a maximum of 2 date ranges. The response will contain a set of metric values for each combination of the dimensions for each date range in the request. So, if there are two date ranges, there will be two set of metric values, one for the original date range and one for the second date range. The reportRequest.dateRanges field should not be specified for cohorts or Lifetime value requests. If a date range is not provided, the default date range is (startDate: current date - 7 days, endDate: current date - 1 day). Every ReportRequest within a batchGet method must contain the same dateRanges definition.

samplingLevel

enum(Sampling)

The desired report sample size. If the the samplingLevel field is unspecified the DEFAULT sampling level is used. Every ReportRequest within a batchGet method must contain the same samplingLevel definition. See developer guide for details.

dimensions[]

object(Dimension)

The dimensions requested. Requests can have a total of 9 dimensions.

dimensionFilterClauses[]

object(DimensionFilterClause)

The dimension filter clauses for filtering Dimension Values. They are logically combined with the AND operator. Note that filtering occurs before any dimensions are aggregated, so that the returned metrics represent the total for only the relevant dimensions.

metrics[]

object(Metric)

The metrics requested. Requests must specify at least one metric. Requests can have a total of 10 metrics.

metricFilterClauses[]

object(MetricFilterClause)

The metric filter clauses. They are logically combined with the AND operator. Metric filters look at only the first date range and not the comparing date range. Note that filtering on metrics occurs after the metrics are aggregated.

filtersExpression

string

Dimension or metric filters that restrict the data returned for your request. To use the filtersExpression, supply a dimension or metric on which to filter, followed by the filter expression. For example, the following expression selects ga:browser dimension which starts with Firefox; ga:browser=~^Firefox. For more information on dimensions and metric filters, see Filters reference.

orderBys[]

object(OrderBy)

Sort order on output rows. To compare two rows, the elements of the following are applied in order until a difference is found. All date ranges in the output get the same row order.

segments[]

object(Segment)

Segment the data returned for the request. A segment definition helps look at a subset of the segment request. A request can contain up to four segments. Every ReportRequest within a batchGet method must contain the same segments definition. Requests with segments must have the ga:segment dimension.

pivots[]

object(Pivot)

The pivot definitions. Requests can have a maximum of 2 pivots.

cohortGroup

object(CohortGroup)

Cohort group associated with this request. If there is a cohort group in the request the ga:cohort dimension must be present. Every ReportRequest within a batchGet method must contain the same cohortGroup definition.

pageToken

string

A continuation token to get the next page of the results. Adding this to the request will return the rows after the pageToken. The pageToken should be the value returned in the nextPageToken parameter in the response to the reports.batchGet request.

pageSize

number

Page size is for paging and specifies the maximum number of returned rows. Page size should be >= 0. A query returns the default of 1,000 rows. The Analytics Core Reporting API returns a maximum of 100,000 rows per request, no matter how many you ask for. It can also return fewer rows than requested, if there aren't as many dimension segments as you expect. For instance, there are fewer than 300 possible values for ga:country, so when segmenting only by country, you can't get more than 300 rows, even if you set pageSize to a higher value.

includeEmptyRows

boolean

If set to false, the response does not include rows if all the retrieved metrics are equal to zero. The default is false which will exclude these rows.

hideTotals

boolean

If set to true, hides the total of all metrics for all the matching rows, for every date range. The default false and will return the totals.

hideValueRanges

boolean

If set to true, hides the minimum and maximum across all matching rows. The default is false and the value ranges are returned.

Sampling

Values for the sampling level.

Enums
SAMPLING_UNSPECIFIED If the samplingLevel field is unspecified the DEFAULT sampling level is used.
DEFAULT Returns response with a sample size that balances speed and accuracy.
SMALL It returns a fast response with a smaller sampling size.
LARGE Returns a more accurate response using a large sampling size. But this may result in response being slower.

Dimension

Dimensions are attributes of your data. For example, the dimension ga:city indicates the city, for example, "Paris" or "New York", from which a session originates.

JSON representation
{
  "name": string,
  "histogramBuckets": [
    string
  ]
}
Fields
name

string

Name of the dimension to fetch, for example ga:browser.

histogramBuckets[]

string (int64 format)

If non-empty, we place dimension values into buckets after string to int64. Dimension values that are not the string representation of an integral value will be converted to zero. The bucket values have to be in increasing order. Each bucket is closed on the lower end, and open on the upper end. The "first" bucket includes all values less than the first boundary, the "last" bucket includes all values up to infinity. Dimension values that fall in a bucket get transformed to a new dimension value. For example, if one gives a list of "0, 1, 3, 4, 7", then we return the following buckets:

  • bucket #1: values < 0, dimension value "<0"
  • bucket #2: values in [0,1), dimension value "0"
  • bucket #3: values in [1,3), dimension value "1-2"
  • bucket #4: values in [3,4), dimension value "3"
  • bucket #5: values in [4,7), dimension value "4-6"
  • bucket #6: values >= 7, dimension value "7+"

NOTE: If you are applying histogram mutation on any dimension, and using that dimension in sort, you will want to use the sort type HISTOGRAM_BUCKET for that purpose. Without that the dimension values will be sorted according to dictionary (lexicographic) order. For example the ascending dictionary order is:

"<50", "1001+", "121-1000", "50-120"

And the ascending HISTOGRAM_BUCKET order is:

"<50", "50-120", "121-1000", "1001+"

The client has to explicitly request "orderType": "HISTOGRAM_BUCKET" for a histogram-mutated dimension.

DimensionFilterClause

A group of dimension filters. Set the operator value to specify how the filters are logically combined.

JSON representation
{
  "operator": enum(FilterLogicalOperator),
  "filters": [
    {
      object(DimensionFilter)
    }
  ]
}
Fields
operator

enum(FilterLogicalOperator)

The operator for combining multiple dimension filters. If unspecified, it is treated as an OR.

filters[]

object(DimensionFilter)

The repeated set of filters. They are logically combined based on the operator specified.

FilterLogicalOperator

How the filters are logically combined.

Enums
OPERATOR_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified operator. It is treated as an OR.
OR The logical OR operator.
AND The logical AND operator.

DimensionFilter

Dimension filter specifies the filtering options on a dimension.

JSON representation
{
  "dimensionName": string,
  "not": boolean,
  "operator": enum(Operator),
  "expressions": [
    string
  ],
  "caseSensitive": boolean
}
Fields
dimensionName

string

The dimension to filter on. A DimensionFilter must contain a dimension.

not

boolean

Logical NOT operator. If this boolean is set to true, then the matching dimension values will be excluded in the report. The default is false.

operator

enum(Operator)

How to match the dimension to the expression. The default is REGEXP.

expressions[]

string

Strings or regular expression to match against. Only the first value of the list is used for comparison unless the operator is IN_LIST. If IN_LIST operator, then the entire list is used to filter the dimensions as explained in the description of the IN_LIST operator.

caseSensitive

boolean

Should the match be case sensitive? Default is false.

Operator

Different match types supported.

Enums
OPERATOR_UNSPECIFIED If the match type is unspecified, it is treated as a REGEXP.
REGEXP The match expression is treated as a regular expression. All match types are not treated as regular expressions.
BEGINS_WITH Matches the value which begin with the match expression provided.
ENDS_WITH Matches the values which end with the match expression provided.
PARTIAL Substring match.
EXACT The value should match the match expression entirely.
NUMERIC_EQUAL

Integer comparison filters. case sensitivity is ignored for these and the expression is assumed to be a string representing an integer. Failure conditions:

  • If expression is not a valid int64, the client should expect an error.
  • Input dimensions that are not valid int64 values will never match the filter.
NUMERIC_GREATER_THAN Checks if the dimension is numerically greater than the match expression. Read the description for NUMERIC_EQUALS for restrictions.
NUMERIC_LESS_THAN Checks if the dimension is numerically less than the match expression. Read the description for NUMERIC_EQUALS for restrictions.
IN_LIST

This option is used to specify a dimension filter whose expression can take any value from a selected list of values. This helps avoiding evaluating multiple exact match dimension filters which are OR'ed for every single response row. For example:

expressions: ["A", "B", "C"]

Any response row whose dimension has it is value as A, B or C, matches this DimensionFilter.

Metric

Metrics are the quantitative measurements. For example, the metric ga:users indicates the total number of users for the requested time period.

JSON representation
{
  "expression": string,
  "alias": string,
  "formattingType": enum(MetricType)
}
Fields
expression

string

A metric expression in the request. An expression is constructed from one or more metrics and numbers. Accepted operators include: Plus (+), Minus (-), Negation (Unary -), Divided by (/), Multiplied by (*), Parenthesis, Positive cardinal numbers (0-9), can include decimals and is limited to 1024 characters. Example ga:totalRefunds/ga:users, in most cases the metric expression is just a single metric name like ga:users. Adding mixed MetricType (E.g., CURRENCY + PERCENTAGE) metrics will result in unexpected results.

alias

string

An alias for the metric expression is an alternate name for the expression. The alias can be used for filtering and sorting. This field is optional and is useful if the expression is not a single metric but a complex expression which cannot be used in filtering and sorting. The alias is also used in the response column header.

Is the metric EQUAL, LESS_THAN or GREATER_THAN the comparisonValue, the default is EQUAL. If the operator is IS_MISSING, checks if the metric is missing and would ignore the comparisonValue.

comparisonValue

string

The value to compare against.

Operator

Different comparison type options.

Enums
OPERATOR_UNSPECIFIED If the operator is not specified, it is treated as EQUAL.
EQUAL Should the value of the metric be exactly equal to the comparison value.

VALUE The sort order is based on the value of the chosen column; looks only at the first date range.
DELTA The sort order is based on the difference of the values of the chosen column between the first two date ranges. Usable only if there are exactly two date ranges.
SMART The sort order is based on weighted value of the chosen column. If column has n/d format, then weighted value of this ratio will be (n + totals.n)/(d + totals.d) Usable only for metrics that represent ratios.
HISTOGRAM_BUCKET Histogram order type is applicable only to dimension columns with non-empty histogram-buckets.
DIMENSION_AS_INTEGER If the dimensions are fixed length numbers, ordinary sort would just work fine. DIMENSION_AS_INTEGER can be used if the dimensions are variable length numbers.

SortOrder

Pivot

The Pivot describes the pivot section in the request. The Pivot helps rearrange the information in the table for certain reports by pivoting your data on a second dimension.

JSON representation
{
  "dimensions": [
    {
      object(Dimension)
    }
  ],
  "dimensionFilterClauses": [
    {

  "maxGroupCount": number
}
Fields
dimensions[]

object(Dimension)

A list of dimensions to show as pivot columns. A Pivot can have a maximum of 4 dimensions. Pivot dimensions are part of the restriction on the total number of dimensions allowed in the request.

dimensionFilterClauses[]

object(DimensionFilterClause)

DimensionFilterClauses are logically combined with an AND operator: only data that is included by all these DimensionFilterClauses contributes to the values in this pivot region. Dimension filters can be used to restrict the columns shown in the pivot region. For example if you have ga:browser as the requested dimension in the pivot region, and you specify key filters to restrict ga:browser to only "IE" or "Firefox", then only those two browsers would show up as columns.

metrics[]

object(Metric)

The pivot metrics. Pivot metrics are part of the restriction on total number of metrics allowed in the request.

startGroup

number

If k metrics were requested, then the response will contain some data-dependent multiple of k columns in the report. E.g., if you pivoted on the dimension ga:browser then you'd get k columns for "Firefox", k columns for "IE", k columns for "Chrome", etc. The ordering of the groups of columns is determined by descending order of "total" for the first of the k values. Ties are broken by lexicographic ordering of the first pivot dimension, then lexicographic ordering of the second pivot dimension, and so on. E.g., if the totals for the first value for Firefox, IE, and Chrome were 8, 2, 8, respectively, the order of columns would be Chrome, Firefox, IE.

The following let you choose which of the groups of k columns are included in the response.

maxGroupCount

number

Specifies the maximum number of groups to return. The default value is 10, also the maximum value is 1,000.

}
Fields
cohorts[]

object(Cohort)

The definition for the cohort.

lifetimeValue

boolean

Enable Life Time Value (LTV). LTV measures lifetime value for users acquired through different channels. Please see: Cohort Analysis and Lifetime Value If the value of lifetimeValue is false:

  • The metric values are similar to the values in the web interface cohort report.
  • The cohort definition date ranges must be aligned to the calendar week and month. i.e. while requesting ga:cohortNthWeek the startDate in the cohort definition should be a Sunday and the endDate should be the following Saturday, and for ga:cohortNthMonth, the startDate should be the 1st of the month and endDate should be the last day of the month.

When the lifetimeValue is true:

  • The metric values will correspond to the values in the web interface LifeTime value report.
  • The Lifetime Value report shows you how user value (Revenue) and engagement (Appviews, Goal Completions, Sessions, and Session Duration) grow during the 90 days after a user is acquired.
  • The metrics are calculated as a cumulative average per user per the time increment.
  • The cohort definition date ranges need not be aligned to the calendar week and month boundaries.
  • The viewId must be an app view ID

Cohort

Defines a cohort. A cohort is a group of users who share a common characteristic. For example, all users with the same acquisition date belong to the same cohort.

JSON representation
{
  "name": string,
  "type": enum(Type),
  "dateRange": {
    object(DateRange)
  }
}
Fields
name

string

A unique name for the cohort. If not defined name will be auto-generated with values cohort_[1234...].

type

enum(Type)

Type of the cohort. The only supported type as of now is FIRST_VISIT_DATE. If this field is unspecified the cohort is treated as FIRST_VISIT_DATE type cohort.

dateRange

object(DateRange)

This is used for FIRST_VISIT_DATE cohort, the cohort selects users whose first visit date is between start date and end date defined in the DateRange. The date ranges should be aligned for cohort requests. If the request contains ga:cohortNthDay it should be exactly one day long, if ga:cohortNthWeek it should be aligned to the week boundary (starting at Sunday and ending Saturday), and for ga:cohortNthMonth the date range should be aligned to the month (starting at the first and ending on the last day of the month). For LTV requests there are no such restrictions. You do not need to supply a date range for the reportsRequest.dateRanges field.
