In this question, the accepted answer says that a visit is not always an entrance. I checked and it's true for my site, though the difference is small (0.4% difference). difference between ga:entranceBounceRate and ga:visitBounceRate When is a visit not an entrance? Visits are incremented with the first hit of a session, whereas Entrances are incremented with the first Pageview hit of a session. So if the first hit of the visit is not a Pageview then you might see a difference between these two calculations. ga:entranceBounceRate = (ga:bounces / ga:entrances) * 100 ga:visitBounceRate = (ga

I am using Rails + Garb Gem (Sija Branch) + omniauth-google-oauth2 Gem and I can successfully authenticate with the Google Analytics API and extract data that our app is generating when using a user login, e.g.: Garb::Session.login('USERNAME', '<PASSWORD>') I can then use Garb to connect to the Analytics Profile I want and pull the data from it and display some charts on a webpage. This all works fine. However, I want to use oAuth2 to authenticate with Analytics which is why I had to install the Sija branch of the Garb Gem from Github (it supports oAuth2) and I also installed the omniauth

I have an AWS EC2 machine that has been running nightly google analytics scripts to load into a database. It has been working fine up for months until this weekend. I have not made any changes to the code. These are the two errors that are showing up in my logs: /venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/oauth2client/_helpers.py:256: UserWarning: Cannot access analytics.dat: No such file or directory warnings.warn(_MISSING_FILE_MESSAGE.format(filename)) Failed to start a local webserver listening on either port 8080 or port 8090.

I'm trying to retrieve data from google analytics with a local console app. Im able to extract some data without having to log in to google account and only using the API. The problem is i'm not getting the right values and im not sure how to format the code to extract the correct values. I wan't to retrieve all visitors within a certain time frame, in this case "2012-01-01" - "2014-02-20". The real number of visitors is like 10 times larger when looking in the Google Analytics dashboard. I'm getting a number of 15000 when debugging the code. I'm displaying d.TotalResults in the console wich

Is there a way to exclude, from all properties and all views of Google Analytics, the visitors with a specific user agent ? Note: it's not for spam/bot prevention (I already checked the feature Admin > View settings > Bot filtering > Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders ), it's to remove a part of own traffic. I can't use IP filtering because my IP changes all the time, and I use many devices (mobile/desktop/laptop). I also can't use cookies, because often I want to test my website as a random non-logged user . I didn't find anything even after exploring deeply the Analytics UI. Maybe

I am fetching my data from google analytics core api . I came to know that we can fetch only 7 dimensions using api, But here I need to fetch more than 7 dimensions with correct metrics. Is there anyway (other than using paid google analytics) to fetch more than 7 dmensions with correct metrics from google analytics. If not, then is there any mathematical formula through which we can find intersection of dimensions fetched using 2 different dimensions having one dimension in common. Thanks The only way i have found around the 7 dimenson limit is to be createive with filters. It will mean that
