The Google Analytics API was launched last April and then updated with a few more features in September. Now, developers are getting access to additional advanced features.
Here's what's included in the API update:
Support for Advanced Segments - Originally unveiled over a year ago, developers are getting two ways to use advanced segements via the API:
- Create them on the fly by specifying their expression directly through an API query.
- Use advanced segments created in the Google Analytics web interface through the API.
Goal 5-20 and Configuration Data - Analytics recently increased the number of goals allowed from 5 to 20. Developers can now access 48 metrics regarding goal performance.
Custom Variables - 10 new dimensions are now available to access custom variable data.
