Getting Started With Google Analytics 4 (GA4) API in Python

Google has announced the next generation of Google Analytics, known as Google Analytics 4 or GA4. And as someone who works with Google Analytics the platform and API pretty often, I thought I would make this tutorial covering how to get started using Google Analytics 4 API in Python.

In this tutorial, I will cover how to set up Google Analytics 4 access and share an example querying GA4 real-time report.

thank you for this video. I have been trying to do an app using this API in php and without composer. This helped me to understand more about concept and data format. 🙂

Query: How much is the cost of the API service in GCP?

It is very useful
But I have a question:
what kind of function that I need to use so that I can query activeDay1 and other metrics and dimensions for other kind of report

One question: is it possible to extract raw hit data?
Thanks!
