Summary
GA numbers without the report builder.
It answers analytics questions from the API rather than the interface, and exposes a property's own definitions — custom metrics, conversion events, streams — so you can tell what a number is actually counting.
What it is
A read layer over the Google Analytics APIs. Reports come back for the metrics and dimensions you name, and the configuration around them — properties, data streams, custom definitions — is addressable in the same session.
What you get
- Analytics reports for the metrics and dimensions you name: sessions, users, pageviews, conversions
- The account hierarchy — every account you can reach, and the properties under each
- Data streams configured on a property, so you know which site or app fed the number
- Custom dimensions and custom metrics defined on a property
- The conversion events a property is tracking
Requirements
Node.js v18 or later, Google OAuth2 credentials (client ID and secret), and a valid access and refresh token pair. The repository ships an oauth-helper script that mints them; Google's OAuth playground works too.
