Add or edit a filter at the view level through the API

[Jeroen Sijl]

Hi,

I am using python to access my GA accounts through the google API's/

I managed to get a list of all accounts/profiles and views and a list of the filters in the account.

What I like to get is a list of filters per view and possibly add or edit these filters on view level.

From what I found so far this is only possible at the account level where you can't assign a view to the filer.

Through the web based GA I can change my filters per view.

Is there a way I can do this in python or is this not possible?

Thank you in advance.

Filters are created and managed at the account level and linked to views -- you need to join the two chunks of data to determine which filters are used in which views.

In the web interface, they let you create and edit in the view, but if you look at the account listing, you will see they are all there. It's just a convenience interface.

Hi Jeroen,

Mike is correct that Filters are created on the Account level. But the only take affect when linked to a profile. So what you are looking for in the API is the Profile Filter links. Since you already have the list of account/properties/profiles you can then enumerate through them and call

filterLinks = analytics.management().profileFilterLinks().list(
      accountId=account_id
      webPropertyId=property_id,
      profileId=profile_id
  ).execute()

Hi Matt and Mike,

Thank you! This resolved the issue for me! I didn't know about profile filter links yet!

Greets,
