Hello guys:
Preface: non-techie asking technical question :-)

We are a web marketing company and have our own CRM.  We would like to create a tab under each client file within the CRM that would show that particular client's analytics.  We know the google api can most likely do this, however we believe prior to viewing each report, google would ask us to login to the associated gmail account setup for that client.  We would like to avoid this, if possible.  Have any of you dealt with this type of a situation before?  If so, did you find a solution?

Thank you for your feedback

Stephan

Usually you create 1 Google Account and add that as a user to all your
client's accounts.

That way you can authorize access for the 1 Google Account and have
access to all the client's accounts.

so if I understand you correctly, the API can pull different reports as long as each report is housed under the same Google account.  correct?

Correct.

In Google Analytics, reporting is done at the profile level.

Each Google Account can have multiple Analytics Accounts. Each
Analytics account can have multiple web properties. Each web property
can have multiple profiles.

We offer a Management API, that allows you to traverse this hierarchy
to find a profile id.
You use the profile id in queries to the Core Reporting API.
