We are offering SAS based SEO service and part of the offering providing analytics based on GA. 

We have integrated GA analytics to our platform, wherein once user can grant access to our domain we start displaying analytics based on GA to user. 

However, we understand there is a quota on API request and as we are offering SAS service it becomes a limiting factor for us to use this service. Is there a way we can take a paid a/c and/or  increase the request?

Thanks,
Clearspike.

Which quota are you hitting?

There is a way to request an increase in daily quota from the APIs console, under the Analytics API settings.

Hi Nick,

We did not hit the quota as yet. However we fear we would reach the same once we launch the application. It can be either of the data feed / account feed.

FYI - We take the authsub token of the user to access their analytics account/data. From our domain / server we make a request to data export API, get data and present to user.

As there is a quota limit on IP for 10 queries per second. Being a saas platform, we will have many concurrent users and we will easily hit this quota. Please let us know how we can request to increase the quota. Even if a paid option present should be fine with us.

Thanks,
Clearspike.

We've had very few (any?) developers hitting our concurrent quota. 10 qps is a lot. 

If you think you will have more than that, then you might consider caching more of the data, like running a batch job to pull data into some storage you host, then serving requests from that storage.

Maybe you can followup directly with details on what you're building so we can make sure you are using our API / Product efficiently.

Hi,

I've hit your quota and I'm about to run into it again. We run a SAAS
system as well, right now on over 200 websites. We pull analytics data
once a day for the previous day, 200 websites obviously can't pull all
the requests at once as that is WAY above your 10qps limit, so I've
been setting up cron jobs to run every 5 minutes, but this is a hassle
and still reaches a limit, I would rather have them all run at the
exact same time.

Could it be 10qps *per account*? Rather than per profile, or per user?
We're not using it the majority of the day, and we store all the
information we retrieve so we don't have to get it again.

I can give you the gmail address of the account in question, if that's
helpful, but it's definitely an issue.

Hi,

This is good feedback.

I'm curious what are you trying to do by accessing every account every 5 minutes?

For 200 websites, I guess you have a separate profile for each. Currently we have a quota of 4 concurrent requests at a time. So you can bring down 200 serial requests down to 4 concurrent requests, 50 times.

I have same query, I'm developing one online software in which users will creates pages and those pages will be hosted at subdomains, created by users only. Also they can host there page with us with their URL. For this right now I'm confuse which method should I use? 

So, I come with solution that, we will maintain two profiles, if it's sub domain we'll go for single domain and multiple sub domain code and for domain we'll go for multiple top level domain code. Is my way of thinking correct? 

Now say, if I have 1000 of user and for them I'm pulling data through data api. how should I optimize my queries at  sub domain level profile  and at domain level profile? and what is possibility of this thing to work? 



Thanks & Regards

Right now the product is not really designed to have 1 service provider implement GA across all their clients and use the API to provide them access to their reports.

Each user of Google Analytics should sign up for their own account, agree to our Terms of Service and have full control over access to their data through our reporting UI. Thats how you should implement your solution. Each client should provide their web property to you, which you should add to their pages so they can track their users in Google Analytics. This is what we do for all our Google properties in which we allow users to implement GA.
