Google Analytics API return no error, but no data either

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi,

I have a GA profile that returns no data using the API. The weird thing is that I have data when I go on Google Analytics. Also, all my others profiles return data correctly.

Here's my request:

https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/data?ids=ga:40666204&metrics=ga:visits,ga:pageviews&start-date=2010-01-01&end-date=2011-01-01

The only thing I could see is that this account was created on the january 3rd 2011. If so, how much time does it takes for data to be available in the Google Analytics API? There is no errors either.

Here's a part of the feed returned:

<generator version='1.0'>Google Analytics</generator>
<openSearch:totalResults>0</openSearch:totalResults>
<openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex>
<openSearch:itemsPerPage>0</openSearch:itemsPerPage>
<dxp:aggregates>
<dxp:metric confidenceInterval='0.0' name='ga:visits' type='integer' value='0'/>
<dxp:metric confidenceInterval='0.0' name='ga:pageviews' type='integer' value='0'/>
</dxp:aggregates>
<dxp:containsSampledData>false</dxp:containsSampledData>

I tried with both version 1 and 2. No luck.

Any idea?

I believe your query is requesting data from January 1, 2010 to January
1, 2011. If the analytic account was in fact created on January 3, 2011,
there should be no data available because the account did not exist
during the specified period.

I think you should run a query beginning Jan. 3, 2011. Unless I don't
get the full picture, of course.
