Batch API request for Google Analytics

[Reginald Tan]

I've searched on the web on whether batched api requests on the google analytics is supported. Some sources seem to indicate its possible (i.e. http://stackoverflow.com/a/17933416), while others indicate its still a pending feature (https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=276&can=1&q=batch&colspec=ID%20Component%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Summary). Do you guys know any updates about this? I'm actually processing about 10+ GET requests for different sub reports (different metrics/dimensions for each one) and it takes a while to get the data. I prefer not to do async/parallel requests unless its really needed. Let me know if you guys know other solutions for requesting several reports.

Today we updated the API to now support batched requests;

In addition we have added special support for the User Permissions API. Batched User Permissions requests will see significant performance gains and reduced quota usage.

All other limits still apply:
