How can I get "Ecommerce Conversion Rate" through API?

[Will Sun]

As all the dimensions and metrics given here https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets , there's no "Ecommerce Conversion Rate". How can I get the data through API?

Thanks folks!

Hi Will
yes, the conversion rates are there. see here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets/goalconversions
Use for example ga:goalXXConversionRate (the "XX" stands for the number of your goal).

I hope this helps.

Thank you Dani, but I'm afraid this isn't what I need. ga:goalXXConversionRate provides the goal conversion rate that we setup in the "Goals" section. What I need is the "Ecommerce Conversion Rate" in the "Ecommerce - Overview" report. 

But thanks, anyway.

Hi Will
if I understand correctly, you have to use the metric ga:transactionsPerVisit. (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets/ecommerce#ga:transactionsPerVisit)
I hope that does the trick.
cheers

Yes you're right Daniel! It's ga:transactionsPerVisit. Thanks a lot!
