Google Analytics

Overview

The Google Analytics source supports Full Refresh syncs. That is, every time a sync is run, Airbyte will copy all rows in the tables and columns you set up for replication into the destination in a new table.

This Google Analytics source wraps the Pipelinewise Singer Google Analytics Tap.

Performance considerations

The Google Analytics connector should not run into Google Analytics API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.

Getting started

Create a Service Account

We recommend creating a service account specifically for Airbyte so you can set granular permissions.

First, need to select or create a project in the Google Developers Console:

Sign in to the Google Account you are using for Google Analytics as an admin.
Go to the Service accounts page.
Click Create service account.
Create a JSON key file for the service user. The contents of this file will be provided as the credentials_json in the UI when authorizing GA after you grant permissions (see below).

Add service account to the Google Analytics account

Use the service account email address to add a user to the Google analytics view you want to access via the API. You will need to grant Read & Analyze permissions.

Enable the APIs

Go to the Google Analytics Reporting API dashboard in the project for your service user. Enable the API for your account. You can set quotas and check usage.
