Hi,

I am trying to get the same table than we can see in the "top content
page --> Entrance Path: index.html" page through the WEB but I cannot
get the same result with the API.

(
https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/content_detail_path?id=xxxxxx&pdr=20090529-20090529&cmp=average&d1=%2Findex.html#lts=1245784328830)


Here id the java code we are using.

query.setIds(tableId);
query.setStartDate("2009-05-29");
query.setEndDate("2009-05-29");
query.setDimensions("ga:pagePath,ga:landingPagePath");
query.setFilters("ga:landingPagePath==/index.html");
String METRIC = "ga:exits";
query.setMetrics(METRIC);
query.setSort("-"+METRIC);


Thanks for your help.

Hi Alain,

Currently the Data Export API doesn't expose navigational data
(including entrance path reports).
This is an open feature request and we'll prioritize it based on
feedback.

The most you can get is the landing page and which pages were viewed
(any time) after that landing page. Technically there is a hidden
dimension in the Web UI called "Second Page" (request_uri_2) but it's
not even exposed in the Web UI, much less the Data API.

Please add this feature, we use the data to see how many goal
conversions were generated by landing page by source. This way, if we
know a landing page is converting well in Organic Search (for example)
we can try it as a landing page in Paid Search. I can't find any
alternative way to pull this using the API.

Thanks!
