I have analytics in my google dashboard, but I can't seem to find a way to export that data via an API, and then do whatever I want with that data, whether it be creating my own custom dashboards based on that data, or saving it to my DB. I searched everywhere, and can't seem to find anything helpful.
I checked out Core reporting API by google, but not sure it that's what I need. Any guidance would be appreciated. I should mention I am doing this in Javascript.

I am trying to access data via the analytics reportingv4 API. I am using the.net version in visual studio. I can get it to return data but just not the data I want.
I am using a specific account that only has one view attached to it. If I try to view the data I'm looking for, using the web interface, it works, by filtering it using the search box. For example, there is currently 20 page hits for today. If I try the same, using the API, no data is returned. If I remove the filter, from my code, data is returned but none of the pages that I am looking for.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I was being silly. I eventually noticed that I was supplying a date range for the year 2017! The processing which
I'm trying to export data from Presence Insights on Bluemix, I followed the following documentation:
https://presenceinsights.ng.bluemix.net/pidocs/analytics/export/
however I can't seem to find export button mentioned inside the document.
Data can be exported from the IBM Presence Insights Dashboard if you have data available. There are also REST APIs for exporting data. They are documented in the Floors, Sites, and Zones sections of the API Reference.
There were REST APIs in the product some time ago, but they were found to have limitations that made them less useful in production. In particular, the amount of data that builds up forces the response time on the API to grow beyond what the Bluemix infrastructure allowed. The API requests would timeout. To that end, the APIs were backed out, but it appears the documentation was left. That will be removed shortly.
Presence Insights still understands the value of exporting the data, so a new scheme is under investigation. For example, it would be ideal if the data could be exported under the covers to a production data storage facility, on a regular time frame.
In the interim, an alternative solution would be to use a Subscription to gather the backend enter/exit/dwell/timeout events directly and roll your own solution to store only what you need in whatever facility works for your application.
Currently, I am developing a web-app in GoogleWebToolkit (ie. java back-end) that should:
Copy an existing google drive spreadsheet document on the same drive
Modify this copied version based on some business logic.
I looked into the Google Spreadsheet API, but had hard time dealing with the oAuth logic. Then I looked at the google Drive API, and found the Dr.Edit example project.
This last project looks good, and I can create and edit text files, but is it now also possible to use some sort of API that reads out SpreadSheet documents instead?
Bottom line is: should i combine Spreadsheet API and Drive API here. What is recommended? I am confused.
You can manage files (create/edit/delete/view) with Google Drive SDK but need Spreadsheets API to modify the worksheets, rows and cells individually.
Once you acquire an access token, you can use it to access Spreadsheets endpoints too. Make sure that you're authorizing for the following scope as well:

I have been playing around with GWT and GWT Visualization Wrapper API. One thing I learned recently is that GWT Visualization API does not work without an internet connection (I was working offline the other day and it took me a good half hour to figure out why my charts were not loading)
After doing a lot of reading online about privacy, data, and GWT, it seems that many people, including me, have a concern about sending data to Google when trying to display graphs. I already searched through many sources, including stackoverflow, and I would like to 100% confirm that my assumptions are correct.
The reason for people's concern about sending data to Google was when you tried to get an image of the said chart. This required data to be sent to Google, they processed it, and then they returned an image to be embedded in your website. According to my studies, that feature has been deprecated from Google charts (and for good reason). The way it works now, to my understanding, is that every time you want to display a chart, you download the most up-to-date library on the client side and perform all the calculations on the client. This makes it so that Google doesn’t actually get any information you will display on the charts.
Thus, I can continue using the visualization API as long as I keep using interactive charts and keep checking on the Google charts documentation page that it says that for this particular chart i.e Line Chart:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/linechart
(SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE) “All code and data are processed and rendered in the browser. No data is sent to any server” I do not have to worry about anyone getting my data because all information is processed client side.
Please correct any incorrect assumptions that I may have. Thank you.
The charts on this page, https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery, all include a "Data Policy" section which details whether the chart is rendered on the client and what data will leave the client. Currently, only GeoChart communicates with Google (in order to do the Geocoding); obviously, this could change in the future.
The charts on this other page, https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/more_charts, include some that were written by Google, and some that were written by third parties. These also include a Data Policy section. For those written by Google, you can rely on this policy. For those written by third parties, Google has not validated the claims and cannot guarantee them.
I want use Google Spreadsheets as data storage, but transparently via ADO.Net Data Provider. There is in some place an implementation?
I don't think there's any ADO.Net provider for Google spreadsheets, but I'm not sure. However, Google have their own API called Google Spreadsheets API that can be used from .Net. You can find more information about this here.
It seems like it'll be a webservice you'll have to connect to it. But you can access it either as a list of rows or on a cell by cell basis and you can use queries to filter the data.
Edit: Here's a sample .Net project using it.
There is a commercial Google Sheets ADO.NET Provider by CData, but I have not yet found an open source or free one.
