Target Service, API

The driver supports Google Analytics 4 (GA4) APIs. The driver provides a relational view of the Google Analytics profiles in your Google account or across your Google Apps domain.

Schema, Data Model

The driver includes tables that contain often-used dimensions and metrics as columns; additionally, you can customize the table schemas or write your own to combine any valid set of dimensions and metrics. The driver exposes the columns available through the Data API (Google Analytics 4) and the Admin API (Google Analytics 4).

Key Objects

Acquisitions, Engagement, Demographics, Monetization views are the basic views that you can use with setting your own dimentions. We also provide a number of pre-defined views such as AcquisitionsSessionSourcereport, EngagementEventsreport etc.

Operations

Standard SQL with SELECT can be used to query the GA4 views by setting StartDate and EndDate in WHERE clause. You can use the strong Server Side Filtering for both OR and AND operators. You can use JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, UNION and other standard SQL clauses.

Authentication

OAuth is the standard schema to access Google Analytics 4. You can use the embedded OAuth and just connect and authorize access from your browser without creating your custom OAuth Apps. The driver also supports OAuthJWT, GCPInstanceAccount, and AWSWorkloadIdentity.
