Garb Build Status

http://github.com/Sija/garb

Important Changes

This fork contains heavily modified version of vigetlab's Garb library. It works only with version 3 of Google API.

Please read CHANGELOG

Description

Provides a Ruby API to the Google Analytics API.

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/coreDevguide

Basic Usage

Single User Login

> Garb::Session.api_key = api_key # required for 2-step authentication
> Garb::Session.login(username, password)

OAuth Access Token

> Garb::Session.access_token = access_token # an instance of OAuth2::Client

Accounts, WebProperties, Profiles, and Goals

> Garb::Management::Account.all
> Garb::Management::WebProperty.all
> Garb::Management::Profile.all
> Garb::Management::Goal.all

Profiles for a UA- Number (a WebProperty)

> profile = Garb::Management::Profile.all.detect {|p| p.web_property_id == 'UA-XXXXXXX-X'}

Define a Report Class

class Exits
  extend Garb::Model

  metrics :exits, :pageviews
  dimensions :page_path
end

Get the Results

> Exits.results(profile, :filters => {:page_path.eql => '/'})

OR shorthand

> profile.exits(:filters => {:page_path.eql => '/'})

Be forewarned, these numbers are for the last 30 days and may be slightly different from the numbers displayed in Google Analytics' dashboard for 1 month.

Other Parameters

  • start_date: The date of the period you would like this report to start
  • end_date: The date to end, inclusive
  • limit: The maximum number of results to be returned
  • offset: The starting index
  • all: Return all results if true (which might result in several requests to GAPI)

Metrics & Dimensions

Metrics and Dimensions are very complex because of the ways in which they can and cannot be combined.

I suggest reading the google documentation to familiarize yourself with this.

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets#q=bouncerate

When you've returned, you can pass the appropriate combinations to Garb, as symbols.

Filtering

Google Analytics supports a significant number of filtering options.

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#filters

Here is what we can do currently: (the operator is a method on a symbol for the appropriate metric or dimension)

Operators on metrics:

eql => '==',
not_eql => '!=',
gt => '>',
gte => '>=',
lt => '<',
lte => '<='

Operators on dimensions:

matches => '==',
does_not_match => '!=',
contains => '=~',
does_not_contain => '!~',
substring => '=@',
not_substring => '!@'

Given the previous Exits example report in shorthand, we can add an option for filter:

profile.exits(:filters => {:page_path.eql => '/extend/effectively-using-git-with-subversion/')

SSL

Version 0.2.3 includes support for real ssl encryption for SINGLE USER authentication. First do:

Garb::Session.login(username, password, :secure => true)

Next, be sure to download http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem into your application somewhere. Then, point Garb.ca_cert_file property to that file.

For whatever reason, simply creating a new certificate store and setting the defaults would not validate the google ssl certificate as authentic.

OPEN / READ TIMEOUT

The open and read timeout values used with the network client (Net::HTTP) are configurable. Both values default to 60 seconds.

Garb.open_timeout = 3
Garb.read_timeout = 3

TODOS

  • rebuild AND/OR filtering in Garb::Model

Requirements

  • active_support >= 2.2
  • multi_json >= 1.3

Requirements for Testing

  • shoulda
  • mocha
  • bourne

`cd garb && rake install`

OR with bundler:

gem 'garb', :git => 'git://github.com/Sija/garb.git'
