Hello,

I'm working with the GA Data API trying to get the top ten search
keywords asking for ga:searchKeyword and ordering by
ga:searchUniques.

In the GA website I can see that seachUniques has different values in
every keyword, but in the data feed that I get with the API
search_uniques value is always 1 and I wonder if anyone else has the
same issue.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

So are you saying that the data returned form the API is different
than that in the Interface?
What is your full API query?
Which report are you comparing to in the interface?

Hi!

I'm making this query:

http://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=ga:13113810&start-date=2009-04-25&end-date=2009-05-25&max-results=10&dimensions=ga:searchKeyword&metrics=ga:searchUniques&sort=ga:searchUniques

that returns:

10109248 => search_uniques=1
13074 => search_uniques=1
223.648 => search_uniques=1
A0108456 => search_uniques=1
A0111987 => search_uniques=1
ACCESORIOS DS => search_uniques=1
ANIMALES => search_uniques=1
ANIMALES DE PLASTICO => search_uniques=1
APOYA CABEZAS => search_uniques=1
BAKUGAN => search_uniques=1

But in the interface, in Content > Site Search, with the same start
and end date, I get:

bakugan => search_uniques=23
disfraces => search_uniques=16
ben 10 => search_uniques=7
piscina => search_uniques=7
tobogan => search_uniques=7
bicicletas => search_uniques=6
disfraz => search_uniques=6
patinete => search_uniques=6
columpios => search_uniques=5
correpasillos => search_uniques=5

Try Changing the sort order from ascending to descending,

https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=ga:xxxxxxxx&start-date=2009-04-25&end-date=2009-05-25&max-results=10&dimensions=ga:searchKeyword&metrics=ga:searchUniques&sort=-ga:searchUniques

saludos,

Andrés

That's the solution.
Sorry for the noise.
