Retrieve data from Google Analytics

Using this package you can easily retrieve data from Google Analytics.

Here are a few examples of the provided methods:

use GAnalytics;
use Fr3on\GAnalytics\Period;

//fetch the most visited pages for today and the past week
GAnalytics::fetchMostVisitedPages(Period::days(7));

//fetch visitors and page views for the past week
GAnalytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));

Most methods will return an \Illuminate\Support\Collection object containing the results.

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer.

composer require fr30n/ganalytics

Optionally, you can publish the config file of this package with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Fr30n\GAnalytics\GAnalyticsServiceProvider"

The following config file will be published in config/ganalytics.php

return [

    /*
     * The view id of which you want to display data.
     */
    'view_id' => env('ANALYTICS_VIEW_ID'),

    /*
     * Path to the client secret json file. Take a look at the README of this package
     * to learn how to get this file. You can also pass the credentials as an array 
     * instead of a file path.
     */
    'service_account_credentials_json' => storage_path('app/ganalytics/service-account-credentials.json'),

    /*
     * The amount of minutes the Google API responses will be cached.
     * If you set this to zero, the responses won't be cached at all.
     */
    'cache_lifetime_in_minutes' => 60 * 24,

    /*
     * Here you may configure the "store" that the underlying Google_Client will
     * use to store it's data.  You may also add extra parameters that will
     * be passed on setCacheConfig (see docs for google-api-php-client).
     *
     * Optional parameters: "lifetime", "prefix"
     */
    'cache' => [
        'store' => 'file',
    ],
];

Usage

When the installation is done you can easily retrieve Analytics data. Nearly all methods will return an Illuminate\Support\Collection-instance.

Here are a few examples using periods

//retrieve visitors and pageview data for the current day and the last seven days
$analyticsData = GAnalytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));

//retrieve visitors and pageviews since the 6 months ago
$analyticsData = GAnalytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::months(6));

//retrieve sessions and pageviews with yearMonth dimension since 1 year ago 
$analyticsData = GAnalytics::performQuery(
    Period::years(1),
    'ga:sessions',
    [
        'metrics' => 'ga:sessions, ga:pageviews',
        'dimensions' => 'ga:yearMonth'
    ]
);

$analyticsData is a Collection in which each item is an array that holds keys date, visitors and pageViews

If you want to have more control over the period you want to fetch data for, you can pass a startDate and an endDate to the period object.

$startDate = Carbon::now()->subYear();
$endDate = Carbon::now();

Period::create($startDate, $endDate);
