I am planning to use the FREE Google Analytics as the engine for analytic for an ecommerce website. Is it possible for me to do the advanced data extraction from Google Analytics for the following task?
Every merchants will have their own analytic statistic on the website control panel to view how is their store page performing, which product people view the most, and etc detail statistic info.
Web system will able to use Google Analytics to have deep understanding about each individual customer like what product they view the most, how frequently they visit and etc. Then, using the info to provide most relevant suggestion to each individual customer.
Is this possible to be done with Google Analytics or I really need to have my own analytic system & store all the data myself?

I manage web application which is made by Symfony2(PHP).
I measure some value in Database (for example, register User per a day) on management screen made by myself.
But I want to compare this value with data on Google analytics.
so I want to know how to send a value in database to Google analytics.
You could check the Data Import section on Property level, in Admin menu. You can find various range of data, that can be imported into Analytics, and applied to your reports.
It's not clear from your post, if any of these would be a solution for you. The detailed description of this feature is available here.
Personally, I'd do it reversed, and collect GA data for my management screen via GA API, if I had a management screen already.
I'm looking for a way to retrieve and then display (with some Highcharts - like library) the current traffic we have on the website. The same way google analytics displays it on the gioogle analytics admin dashboard, but I'd like to retrieve with some API and display it directly on our custom dashboard.
After reading through the complete google analytics documentation, I've understood that
"Google Analytics API doesn’t support real-time stats yet… but this is
still useful if you want to display pageviews or number of visits on
your site and have it automatically update."
So my question is, is there another API to retrieve and display the current/instant traffic on a website on our custom admin dashboard. Or, is there a workaround (with AJAX ?) to do so with the google analytics API ? ( i've seen that you can retrieve the amount visitors on a given perido, so even if this is not real time, fo now it gets as close as I can to my goal)
I'm working with php and javscript
Thanks
No - the current API doesn't currently support true real-time statistics. It is the most highly requested feature though:

Access to Real Time Data
We develop services which integrate with the API. On average I estimate the latency is about 1-3 hours. I believe the larger your dataset it the longer the latency.
I am building a service like Wix.com, users can build simple mutli-pages website with ease. Every website will be including in a global Google Analytics account with a unique profile, then the tracking code is to be placed in the website pages.
Now, on the website dashboard i want to show the online visitors and the total number of visists for the website for each website separatly, trying to do so i have :
Tried using GAPI (http://code.google.com/p/gapi-google-analytics-php-interface/) but due to Google Analytics major update it doesn't work anymore.
I found Google Core reporting API for Analytics, but i believe it's made for 3rd party applications that accesses GA data for their clients, meaning that the user should have a Google account and GA profile for the website, and the App just connects to the account and retrieves data. And this of course isn't the case here; i can't ask the user to create a Google account and embed the tracking code in the website HTML; else what am i here for ?
Got the picture ? I need the simplest method to do this, no fancy stuff.
PS: Minutes ago i found this: Google Analytics Query Explorer (http://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/), it's a 3rd party app that builds custom queries for GA and gives you the link, something like that :
https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids= (the ID) &dimensions=ga%3AvisitCount&metrics=ga%3Avisitors&segment=gaid%3A%3A-1&start-date=2013-02-01&end-date=2013-02-23&max-results=50
Now, trying to access the URL (thinking; this is easy :) ) the respond is a request for login first :
{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"required","message":"Login Required","locationType":"header","location":"Authorization"}],"code":401,"message":"Login Required"}}
Thanks in advance.
Unless you have fewer than 50 clients this plan is not going to work the way you're asking for. (There is a limit of 50 profiles per account.)
The client will have to make their own GA number and provide it to you as a setting for their website.
In order to display the customers reports on a dashboard on your site you're also going to have to get them to authorize a GA App you create for access.
I want to use the Google analytics API for managing some information.
Let's say I want to know who bought something in my webshop via adwords or not. So I can express my profit against my adwords visitors.
I can't find a good place to start. Maybe someone knows where I can find the proper information?
I want to interact with Google Analytics via PHP.
I managed this by using strings attached to the address (POST or GET method, I can't remember as I was just editing a pre-written cart), so I know when someone adds a product to the cart simply because in my analytics it shows up a page like
../cart.php?action=add&id=39
I recently use the great php class call : Google Analytics PHP API. I manage to get it working to get a lot of info and stats for my 25+ website that have analytic
Now i like to get more data like
The page rank the google placement
(where i am on google #325 or #520)
Google Page Rank
Google Indexed Pages
Traffic Rank
Inbound Links
DMOZ Directory
Yahoo! Directory
get a summary (my way) much more like http://websitegrader.com
do you know a php class to do that ?
I guarantee you're not going to find one "class" that does all that for you.
Manually checking your site's rank on Alexa is probably going to be your best source of information on top of what Google Analytics is already giving you.
Google Analytics does NOT require any sort of API.
The site you linked to asks for your Google username/password. I'm flagging this question. I encourage others to do the same.
you can get all from alexa api (Alexa Web Services)

but not free
$0.00015 per request ($0.15 for 1,000 requests)
i thought in the past to build a website to arrange an Arab sites
