Exposing GA data on a website

[mrt]

Hi all

I'm not sure if this is a trivial question but I've searched around
and I am not sure I get it.

What I'd like to do is:

Have a section on my website that exposes the data from the GA account
for that site to all users. No authentication by visitors or anything,
everybody should be able to see the data (well the parts of it I want
to expose).

From what I've read there's different ways of authenticating, but I
can't seem to find anything that just exposes a feed (or allows me
to), so that I can expose the data?

Obviously you don't want to expose password and login, but you could
proxy through a .NET script that retrives the GA data and exposes
parts of it. Can it be done?

Hi,

ShufflePoint has support for JSON feeds for Google Visualization and
iGoogle Gadgets. This allows you to have on your web site any Google
Visualization (charts, tables, etc) and have it bound to an analytics
query. Have a look
at this blog article:

Thank you very much for your response :)

I took a look at your link and my impression is that it provides you
with the visualisation "as is" meaning you get both visualisation and
data in one "package"?

I actually need the data for custom visualization in a Flash
application. Could the JSON output from the service be used in that
context?

Actually just he opposite. We are just providing a Google Vis
compatible JSON feed. The visualizations are all from Google.

Do you have a specific JSON schema you need to have? Our follows the
Google schema. For details on that format, see:
http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/dev/implementing_data_source.html#responseformat

If you need a custom JSON format, we'd be open to providing it for
you.

Thank you for your reply.

I see, I should have read the information on your page more
thoroughly.

There is no need for any specific format as I am in a research fase
and haven't even begun to think of a parser.

I've stumpled upon this article:
http://www.reimers.dk/blogs/jacob_reimers_weblog/archive/2009/05/09/added-google-analytics-reader-for-net.aspx

Which seems to be what I need for extracting data from a specific
account and lets me expose that for a frontend app?

I'm in the same boat as you mrt.

I need to create a GA dashboard with some custom visualisations from
data values have it either auto-authenticate or pull the data without
logging in without use of any backend code.

I hope this feed brings up some useful options :)

The guys at YouCalc also have some great dashboard solutions.
There are some Excel plugins you can do this with.

Alternatively you could create a Java/Python app that sits on your
local machine and uses the Client Login routine to pull data from GA
and output HTML. The app could then upload the HTML to a web server.
