Google Analytics

# Google Analytics

Access Google Analytics with managed OAuth authentication. This skill covers both the Admin API (manage accounts, properties, data streams) and the Data API (run reports on metrics).

Quick Start

```bash # List account summaries (Admin API) python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

# Run a report (Data API) python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'dateRanges': [{'startDate': '30daysAgo', 'endDate': 'today'}], 'dimensions': [{'name': 'city'}], 'metrics': [{'name': 'activeUsers'}]}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/{propertyId}:runReport', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Base URLs

Admin API (manage accounts, properties, data streams): ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/{native-api-path} ```

Data API (run reports): ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/{native-api-path} ```

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Google Analytics API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `analyticsadmin.googleapis.com` and `analyticsdata.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ```

Environment Variable: Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ```

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

• Important: The Admin API and Data API use separate connections:
• `google-analytics-admin` - Required for Admin API endpoints (manage accounts, properties, data streams)
• `google-analytics-data` - Required for Data API endpoints (run reports)

Create the connection(s) you need based on which API you want to use.

List Connections

```bash # List Admin API connections python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-analytics-admin&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

# List Data API connections python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-analytics-data&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Create Connection

```bash # Create Admin API connection (for managing accounts, properties, data streams) python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-analytics-admin'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

# Create Data API connection (for running reports) python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-analytics-data'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Get Connection

```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Response: ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "google-analytics-admin", "metadata": {} } } ```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Google Analytics connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

// Run a report (Data API) const report = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/123456:runReport', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ dateRanges: [{ startDate: '30daysAgo', endDate: 'today' }], dimensions: [{ name: 'country' }], metrics: [{ name: 'activeUsers' }] }) } ); ```

Python

```python import os import requests

# List account summaries (Admin API) accounts = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} )

# Run a report (Data API) report = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/123456:runReport', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, json={ 'dateRanges': [{'startDate': '30daysAgo', 'endDate': 'today'}], 'dimensions': [{'name': 'country'}], 'metrics': [{'name': 'activeUsers'}] } ) ```

Notes

• GA4 properties only (Universal Analytics not supported)
• Property IDs are numeric (e.g., `properties/521310447`)
• Use `accountSummaries` to quickly list all accessible properties
• Use `updateMask` for PATCH requests in Admin API
• Use metadata endpoint to discover available dimensions/metrics
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Google Analytics connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Analytics API |

Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key

When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ```

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ```

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with the correct app name:
2. - For Admin API: use `google-analytics-admin`
3. - For Data API: use `google-analytics-data`

• Examples:
• Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries`
• Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/123456:runReport`
• Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/analytics/v1beta/accountSummaries`
