Event tracking in the GA API?

[wpalmeri]

Are there any dimensions or metrics for Events in the API? I've been
waiting a while for the API to be publicly released and I'd really
like to integrate Events into some custom reporting using the API.

I understand Event tracking is still being tested, so I'm holding out
hope that you have some undocumented dimensions/metrics for Events :)

Thanks,
Will

In general, the Data Export API won't support features that aren't
available to all users. Event Tracking is still in beta and not
available to everyone. Once it's available to all users, we'll work on
adding support for it in the API.

FYI, we've also heard this request from other users. So it's on our
radar and we do want to get to it.

We would really appreciate this feature as well! Events ROCK, add 'em
to the API please. ;->

+1. Would love to see event tracking added.

I would also be keen to see event tracking available from the data
export API.

Would also love to see events become available for export through the
GData API, I think this might even be more useful that the standard
visitor/content data.

Thanks!

Again +1. We are tracking outbound clicks from a users profile and
want to display the performance of their profile (views/outbound
clicks) in a nice dashboard. In the meantime I guess we will use the
track page view code instead but Event Tracking is a far nicer
solution.

Thanks,
Glen

Now that event tracking is available to everyone, any ETA on when
we'll have it in the GA API?

It's something we're looking at closely, but have no plans on
discussing our road map publicly.

We will, however, prioritize features on feedback we hear through this
group :)

+1 for event tracking!!!

Event tracking is one of the most powerfull features of Google
Analytics and in combination with an API it will be a killer app,
opening a whole new range of possibilities.

[Dudi]

I agree. For us, a large web publisher, accessing both Events and
AdSense information (the integrated AdSense data in Analytics) through
the Google Analytics API are two most significant features. Will be
happy to hear as soon as those dimensions/metrics are released!

[steveruiz]

Jumping on the "please add event tracking to the API" bandwagon!

This is a very important feature!

[snowstorm]

Yes, event tracking is of great utility, but most of the value is
unaccessible unless the API is available to export the data. The built
in interface that only allows interactive export of a subset of data
just doesn't cut it.

[guytom]

add my vote for that!

[danithaca]

events tracking would be very important!!!
thanks!

[andres]

Hi,

I will love to query events from the GA API!!

Andrés

[Pat]

Major +1 for querying events. Thanks, Nick. :)

[salvador]

+1 for event tracking; Thanks !

[Jeremy Shipman]

+1 for event tracking.

[dudus]

Event Tracking is available to everyone for a couple of months now.
But still it's not available to be used on the API, custom reports,
advanced segments nor as a goal.

So it's not that useful yet.

+1 to implement event support to all app

[Leo Naressi]

+1 to implement event support to all app including capabilities to
filter events, events in custom reports, and reporting through api. :)

[natco]

a big YES to EVENTS Tracking...quickly please : )

[Booster]

The google API is great, but it would be super with the event tracking
in it!

Hey Guys,

Just an update....we heard you and we're working on this; it's a top
priority. Not sure on the ETA, but stay tuned!

-Nick

[Brad]

Thanks; we need it!

[snowstorm]

Any progress on this? This would be seriously helpful.

Come on! i love to see eventCategory, eventAction, eventLabel as
demension. eventTotal...as metrix. Then my solution will got much
nicer. event tracking make more sense than "/virtual/event/happen"

[David Fernandez]

+1 to event tracking through API.

is there any official answer from the Google guys?

Anybody knows if Omniture support this feature?

[SAYED ALI]

Omniture has a option of Dataware housing. Where you can get dataware
housing reports I guess and they have a way where you can get the
report extracts in any format you want.

+1,000,000 for Event exporting...

I'm surprised it wasn't added in at the same time this Event Tracking
became available publicly... I use event tracking for outgoing links
and attach internal ids so setting up a nightly cron to suck in the
previous days values and generate my reports would be very slick.
Hope this is released soon!!!

[turang]

Do you have any updates for the event tracking request?

[Downstream Technologies]

One more here! :) We are also waiting for Event Export. It will be a
great feature!

[BenG]

+1 Here.

This will make the export api even more useful than it already is!

[danithaca]

Any progress on this? Now I'm using iMacros to manually download the
CSV files, which is a big pain.....

It's been released for a few weeks now...you should subscribe to our
