Hello,
On behalf of the Google Analytics team I would like to announce the following updates to the Google Analytics Data API.
Quota updates
The Data API reduced the quota tokens charged per query. The quota limits for property quota tokens per hour and per day were not changed.
New dimensions
The following new dimensions have been added to the Analytics Data API schema:
hour The two-digit hour of the day that the event was logged. This dimension ranges from 00-23 and is reported in your property's timezone.
nthHour The number of hours since the start of the date range. The starting hour is 0000.
nthYear The number of years since the start of the date range. The starting year is 0000.
dateHour The combined values of date and hour formatted as YYYYMMDDHH.
Custom Metric Variants
Each custom metric that a property registers creates three API metric variants: a sum, an average, and a count.Ilya,
The Google Analytics Team
