Analytics Configuration

Google Analytics provides developer access to the configuration data through the Management API, which is a read-only API for account and configuration data. You can use the Management API to do the following and more:

  • List all the Account, Web Property, and Profile information for a user
  • Retrieve a Profile ID to use with the Core Reporting API
  • Determine which of the user's goals are active and access their configured names
  • Retrieve a user's custom segments to apply them to Core Reporting API queries

Note: To access the user's reporting data, use the Core Reporting API.

Labs Policy

The current versions of the Google Analytics Management API are beta releases in labs and are subject to change. In most cases, we will do our best to give customers at least one month advance notice to migrate to new API releases before we remove or deprecate functionality. Stay up to date by joining our notify Google group. In unusual cases that impact our internal systems or our ability to provide a high level of service to our end users, we reserve the right to make changes on shorter notice. As usual, usage of our API is ultimately governed by our Developer Terms of Service.
