How to use parameters in getResults function? I need to get information about what urls of my website users are watching. In case when i use ga:sessions, I see how many users was there. If I change it to ga:pageviews the number (in result array) is changes. So it means that API is "alive".
How do I get URLs "points of enter" where people starting to watch my website. And how to send parameters in this place 'ga:sessions'); ?
API instructions I was reading are here.
function getResults(&$analytics, $profileId) {
// Calls the Core Reporting API and queries for the number of sessions
// for the last seven days.
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions');
}
function printResults(&$results) {
// Parses the response from the Core Reporting API and prints
// the profile name and total sessions.
if (count($results->getRows()) > 0) {
// Get the profile name.
$profileName = $results->getProfileInfo()->getProfileName();
// Get the entry for the first entry in the first row.
$rows = $results->getRows();
// $sessions = $rows[0][0];
// Print the results.
echo '<pre>';
print_r($rows);
} else {
print "No results found.\n";
}
}
For now result is:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 3585
)
)
When you run your request
$analytics->data_ga->get('ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions');
What you are doing is asking Google Analytics to give you the number of sessions for your profile between today and 7 days ago. Which it is infact doing. There have been 3585 sessions during that time frame
Now if you check the dimensions and metrics explorer you will find a large list of dimensions and metrics. ga:sessions is a metric ga:pageviews is a dimension so you need to add the dimension to your request.
$params = array('dimensions' => 'ga:pageviews');
$analytics->data_ga->get('ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions',
$params);
Now run your request and you should get a list of each page with the total number of sessions for that page.
Tip:
foreach ($results->getRows() as $row) {
print $row[0]." - ".$row[1];
}

I want to iterate over the objects in a bucket. I REALLY need to paginate this - we have 100's of thousands of objects in the bucket. Our bucket looks like:
bucket/MLS ID/file 1
bucket/MLS ID/file 2
bucket/MLS ID/file 3
... etc
Simplest version of my code follows. I know the value I'm setting into $params['nextToken'] is wrong, I can't figure out how or where to get the right one. $file_objects is a 'Google\Cloud\Storage\ObjectIterator', right?
// temp: pages of 10, out of a total of 100. I really want pages of 100
// out of all (in my test bucket, I have about 700 objects)
$params = [
'prefix' => $mls_id,
'maxResults' => 10,
'resultLimit' => 100,
'fields' => 'items/id,items/name,items/updated,nextPageToken',
'pageToken' => NULL
];
while ( $file_objects = $bucket->objects($params) )
{
foreach ( $file_objects as $object )
{
print "NAME: {$object->name()}\n";
}
// I think that this might need to be encoded somehow?
// or how do I get the requested nextPageToken???
$params['pageToken'] = $file_objects->nextResultToken();
}
So - I don't understand maxResults vs resultLimit. It would seem that resultLimit would be the total that I want to see from my bucket, and maxResults the size of my page. But maxResults doesn't seem to affect anything, while resultLimit does.
maxResults = 100
resultLimit = 10
produces 10 objects.
maxResults = 10
resultLimit = 100
spits out 100 objects.
maxResults = 10
resultLimit = 0
dumps out all 702 in the bucket, with maxResults having no effect at all. And at no point does "$file_objects->nextResultToken();" give me anything.
What am I missing?
The objects method automatically handles pagination for you. It returns an ObjectIterator object.
The resultLimit parameter limits the total number of objects to return across all pages. The maxResults parameter sets the maximum number to return per page.
If you use a foreach over the ObjectIterator object, it'll iterate through all objects, but note that there are also other methods in ObjectIterator, like iterateByPage.
Ok, I think I got it. I found the documentation far too sparse and misleading. The code I came up with:
$params = [
'prefix' => <my prefix here>,
'maxResults' => 100,
//'resultLimit' => 0,
'fields' => 'items/id,items/name,items/updated,nextPageToken',
'pageToken' => NULL
];
// Note: setting 'resultLimit' to 0 does not work, I found the
// docs misleading. If you want all results, don't set it at all
// Get the first set of objects per those parameters
$object_iterator = $bucket->objects($params);
// in order to get the next_result_token, I had to get the current
// object first. If you don't, nextResultToken() always returns
// NULL
$current = $object_iterator->current();
$next_result_token = $object_iterator->nextResultToken();
while ($next_result_token)
{
$object_page_iterator = $object_iterator->iterateByPage();
foreach ($object_page_iterator->current() as $file_object )
{
print " -- {$file_object->name()}\n";
}
// here is where you use the page token retrieved earlier - get
// a new set of objects
$params['pageToken'] = $next_result_token;
$object_iterator = $bucket->objects($params);
// Once again, get the current object before trying to get the
// next result token
$current = $object_iterator->current();
$next_result_token = $object_iterator->nextResultToken();
print "NEXT RESULT TOKEN: {$next_result_token}\n";
}
This seems to work for me, so now I can get to the actual problem. Hope this helps someone.
I'm using the twitter api to try to get an integer that tells me how many tweets there are to a certain string I give.
e.g. I search for "mercedes" and then want to get an integer back from twitter that says: "1249". 1249 would mean that there were so many tweets in the last 2 weeks. Twitter only returns data from the last 2 weeks as far as I know. Because of me it's also okay if I get all records back and pull them by means of php or the like. I have already sent some test requests, but always only get arrays back with a maximum of 20 entries.
Anyone have a solution?
And I already looked at similar questions but couldn't find something that helped me. Many answers in the questions I have seen no longer work, as twitter and its api has changed and evolved
Using the public search API, you will get tweets from the last 7 days only and not all tweets. So your results won't be accurate.
If you still want to test, you have to use the standard search API :
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/get-search-tweets.html
Set the "cout" parameter to 100, and check the "next_results" value in the results to loop 100 others tweets and so on until you get no result.
I couldn't find a solution neither, so I coded it using pieces of code and ideas as the previous #JeffProd one, and avoiding using a lib. I hope it could help you.
PS: You must apply for a Twitter Developer Account and create an app to get your TOKENs and KEYs.

Hi I have been looking around on the internet and haven't been able to find a solution yet. I want to only get the tweets from the past hour which have a certain hashtag.
I am pulling the tweets in with that hashtag but I dont know how to only get the ones from the past hour.
Here is some example data:
As you can see there is a created_at date there but I dont know how to use this to get the ones from the past hour. I think this would be the only way that I would be able to do it.
The best way I can think of doing it is converting that date into a UNIX timestamp and then checking if it was tweets in the last hour. But there is a lot of data to go through and this doesnt seem like a very good solution but its all I cant think of.
If that is the only solution there is, would some given me an example on how to convert that date to a UNIX timestamp in PHP. If you have a different solution I would love to see a detailed example :) Thanks
You may also find this link useful https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/get-search-tweets
I couldn't find an alternative solution neither so I coded it. The WINDOW constant defines the time interval to 1 hour. Hope it helps!

The examples given by Google are a very simple query request. however, when I try to add more parameters, it will throw errors and I don't exactly know how to structure the syntax.
This simple query request works:
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $viewID,
$startDate,
$endDate,
'ga:sessions'
);
I need more information and I've already used Google's Query Explorer to get the Information but I just don't know how to structure my PHP query. The Information I want to request is also ga:pageviews as another metric, ga:pagePath and ga:pageTitle as dimensions and also a filter. I already fail at adding a second metric.
I have tried this:
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $viewID,
$startDate,
$endDate,
'ga:sessions',
'ga:pageviews'
);
simply adding it doesn't work. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
Dimensions need to be added as option parms
//Adding Dimensions
$params = array('dimensions' => 'ga:userType');
// requesting the data
$data = $service->data_ga->get("ga:89798036", "2014-12-14", "2014-12-14", "ga:users,ga:sessions", $params );
I'm trying to fetch some data using the analytics API, the example i have is this:
function getResults(&$analytics, $profileId) {
// Calls the Core Reporting API and queries for the number of sessions
// for the last seven days.
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions');
}
and the function in the Analytics.php file is:
public function get($ids, $metrics, $optParams = array())
{
$params = array('ids' => $ids, 'metrics' => $metrics);
$params = array_merge($params, $optParams);
return $this->call('get', array($params), "Google_Service_Analytics_RealtimeData");
}
}
How do I adapt that example to return some dimensions along with the sessions, for example, pagePath?
Thanks
So the question is little unclear, but the first part of your question is correct, that example works and is the way to get data from the Google Analytics API. You do NOT need to touch or modify Analytics.php however.
Here is what your code should look like:
$ga_profile_id = xxxxxxx; // insert yours
$from = date('Y-m-d', time()-2*24*60*60); // last 2 days
$to = date('Y-m-d'); // today
$metrics = 'ga:visits,ga:visitors,ga:pageviews';
$dimensions = 'ga:date';
$sort = "-ga:visits";
$data = $service->data_ga->get('ga:'.$ga_profile_id, $from, $to, $metrics, array('dimensions' => $dimensions,'sort'=>$sort));
These are all the basic elements you need to get started. Visit https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/common-queries for a list of Common Query recipes. Replace the metrics, dimensions and sort parameters in my example above with the ones listed there to run the common report scenarios they cover.
The Analytics API Query explorer (https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/) is a great to play around and discover the metric and dimension names. For example, you'll find that that the dimension for Page Path is: ga:pagePath.
So then, for example, if you want to get visits and pageviews by page path, you simply insert the correct parameters in the code, and you get something that looks like this:
$ga_profile_id = xxxxxx; //insert yours here
$from = date('Y-m-d', time()-2*24*60*60); // last 2 days
$to = date('Y-m-d'); // today
$metrics = 'ga:visits,ga:pageviews';
$dimensions = 'ga:pagePath';
$sort = "-ga:visits";
$data = $service->data_ga->get('ga:'.$ga_profile_id, $from, $to, $metrics, array('dimensions' => $dimensions,'sort'=>$sort));
Which basically means:
Get the metrics visits and pageviews, using page path as the dimension, and sort it by visits - for the last 2 days! Hopefully this all makes sense.
I'm a bit unfamiliar with php syntax but you can specify dimension types in your params when query-ing for example for pagepath you could try
$params = array('ids' => $ids, 'metrics' => $metrics, 'dimensions' => 'rt:pagePath')
See the official dimensions and metrics explorer for more info
