Google Analytics API is now available to developers

Posted by phorner On April 28, 2009

GoogleThe long sought after Google Analytics Data Export API beta has finally been made available to the public. The API will allow developers to access the read-only data from Google Analytics in their own applications.

Any data that’s available through the standard Analytics web interface is available through the API. The Analytics API is a Google Data API. This is the same API protocol used for Google Calendar, Finance and Webmaster Tools.  If you’ve used any of these APIs, the Google Analytics Data Export API will look very familiar to you.

Client libraries for the JavaScript and Java programming languages have been provided. Support for more programming languages is in the works. For any programming language you want to use you can make requests directly to the API over HTTP and access the data in XML.

To get started, you firstly need to get the documentation from Google Code. Here you’ll find example code, a developer guide, FAQ, and the complete API reference.

You can then sign up for the Google Analytics API Notify email group so you get the key announcements on feature updates, code changes and other service related news that relate to the API.

It will be interesting to see some of the inventive ways developers present the data from Analytics.
