IMPORTANT: If you were apart of our private beta testing, please pay
special attention to the following.
Very shortly, the Google Analytics Data Export API will remove support
for the following functionality we deprecated after leaving our
private beta phase. Your applications may stop working if you continue
using them.
1. The account feed requests will no longer support a username in
them. Instead, it will only accept requests in the following format:
https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default
2. The following metrics are being removed and will no longer work.
Instead, we have provided instructions on how to calculate these
values here:

ga:avgPageviews
ga:avgSessionTime

3. The following dimensions and metrics have been renamed. The old
