google analytics api query a specific url

Question

I am accessing the Google analytics API with PHP which works on my end but I\'d love to filter the results a bit further. Right now I am using:

$OBJresult =          


        

Answer 1

You need to use the filters string to say "if path includes /news" which can be done as follows:

$OBJresult=$analytics->data_ga->get(
    'ga:'.$profilID,
    '2012-01-01',
    date("Y-m-d"),
    'ga:visits',
    array(
        'filters' => 'ga:pagePath=@/news',
        'dimensions' => 'ga:pagePath',
        'metrics' => 'ga:pageviews',
        'sort' => '-ga:pageviews',
        'max-results' => '25'));

The answer supplied by Barmar will only find an exact match for the /news page.
