I'm learning to use google analytics for apps. For test purpose i have created a new google account, enabled analytics for apps and issued following command from terminal to test is it working:
curl "http://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&tid=UA-12345678-1&cid=123&an=myapp&t=event&ec=action&ea=click"
Unfortunately, this request don't affect any numbers i see on analytics page - it's all zeroes. Any request to google analytics results in "200 OK" and 1x1 pixel gif image, so i can't figure out the problem: is the request incorrect, or i need to somehow preconfigure google analytics, or it have days delay before data is displayed etc.
Any suggestions?
It looks like your issue was solved. Some pointers for other people coming to this page:
- Look in realtime reports.
- Try to send pageview or screenview instead of event. They show up in more places.
- The cid should be a UUID v4.
For debuging your requests you can use this URL:
/debug/collect
instead of
/collect
In response body you will see details.
