Preview

Usage

• Select a start date, end date, and metric from the form.
• Click the "Fetch" button to retrieve data from Google Analytics.
• The table will display the data for the selected date range and metric, grouped by country.
• The sum total of the chosen metric is displayed in a separate box.

Google Cloud + GA Setup

Google Analytics Property ID:

• Select your project at https://analytics.google.com
• Go to Settings, Property Settings

• You'll see the ID there

Create Google Cloud Credentials and Enable API (Google Analytics Data API)

• Navigate to API's & Services, Credentials

• Create Credentials (OAuth)

• Enter url's that you're using for your application server (vite uses 5173 by default)

Generate Credentials JSON - https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials#create_credentials_for_a_service_account

ENV

Create a .env file in the project root directory and populate it with the following variables:

PROPERTY_ID=YOUR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID
PORT=3000
VITE_PORT=3000
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_JSON=YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_JSON
Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID with your Google Analytics property ID, and YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_JSON with the contents of your service account key JSON file. Additional VITE_PORT is needed for frontend to contact backend.

E.g.:

PROPERTY_ID=12345678
PORT=3000
VITE_PORT=3000
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS_JSON={"type": "service_account", "project_id": "dashboard1-1682805546629", "private_key_id": "blablabla\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n", "client_email": "client-email-here", "client_id": "1234", "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token", "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.somelink.com"}
