NAME

Mojo::GoogleAnalytics - Extract data from Google Analytics using Mojo UserAgent

SYNOPSIS

  my $ga     = Mojo::GoogleAnalytics->new("/path/to/credentials.json");
  my $report = $ga->batch_get({
    viewId     => "ga:152749100",
    dateRanges => [{startDate => "7daysAgo", endDate => "1daysAgo"}],
    dimensions => [{name => "ga:country"}, {name => "ga:browser"}],
    metrics    => [{expression => "ga:pageviews"}, {expression => "ga:sessions"}],
    orderBys   => [{fieldName => "ga:pageviews", sortOrder => "DESCENDING"}],
    pageSize   => 10,
  });

  print $report->rows_to_table(as => "text");

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::GoogleAnalytics is a Google Analytics client which allow you to extract data non-blocking.

This module is work in progress and currently EXPERIMENTAL. Let me know if you start using it or has any feedback regarding the API.

ATTRIBUTES

authorization

  $hash_ref = $self->authorization;

Holds authorization data, extracted by "authorize". This can be useful to set from a cache if Mojo::GoogleAnalytics objects are created and destroyed frequently, but with the same credentials.

client_email

  $str = $self->client_email;

Example: "some-app@some-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com".

client_id

  $str = $self->client_id;

Example: "103742165385019792511".

private_key

  $str = $self->private_key;

Holds the content of a pem file that looks like this:

  -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
  ...
  ...
  -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

ua

  $ua = $self->ua;
  $self = $self->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new);

Holds a Mojo::UserAgent object.

view_id

  $str = $self->view_id;
  $self = $self->view_id("ga:152749100");

Default viewId, used by "get_report".

METHODS

authorize

  $self = $self->authorize;
  $self = $self->authorize(sub { my ($self, $err) = @_; });

This method will set "authorization". Note that this method is automatically called from inside of "batch_get", unless already authorized.

batch_get

  $report = $self->batch_get($query);
  $self = $self->batch_get($query, sub { my ($self, $err, $report) = @_ });

Used to extract data from Google Analytics. $report will be a Mojo::Collection if $query is an array ref, and a single Mojo::GoogleAnalytics::Report object if $query is a hash.

$err is a string on error and false value on success.

from_file

  $self = $self->from_file("/path/to/credentials.json");

Used to load attributes from a JSON credentials file, generated from https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials. Example file:

  {
    "type": "service_account",
    "project_id": "cool-project-238176",
    "private_key_id": "01234abc6780dc2a3284851423099daaad8cff92",
    "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
    "client_email": "some-name@cool-project-238176.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
    "client_id": "103742165385019792511",
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
  }

Note: The JSON credentials file will probably contain more fields than is listed above.

get_report

  $report = $self->get_report($query);
  $self = $self->get_report($query, sub { my ($self, $err, $report) = @_ });

This method is the same as "batch_get", but will do some translations on the input queries before passing it on to "batch_get". Example:

  $self->get_report({
    dimensions => "ga:productName",
    metrics    => "ga:productListClicks,ga:productListViews",
    interval   => [qw(7daysAgo 1daysAgo)],
    order_by   => ["ga:productListClicks desc"],
    filters    => [ ["ga:currencyCode" => "eq" => ["USD"]] ],
  });
  • dimensions

    dimensions will be translated from a comma separated string, or passed on directly to Google Analytics if not. The example above results in this query:

      dimensions => [{name => "ga:productName"}]
  • filters

    filters is a simpler version of dimensionFilterClauses and metricFilterClauses. The format is:

      filters => [ [$fieldName, $operator, $value] ]

    The $operator will be used to determine if the expression should go into dimensionFilterClauses or metricFilterClauses.

      Input operator | Filter group          | Analytics operator
      ---------------|-----------------------|----------------------
      eq             | dimensionFilterClause | EXACT
      ^              | dimensionFilterClause | BEGINS_WITH
      $              | dimensionFilterClause | ENDS_WITH
      =~             | dimensionFilterClause | REGEXP
      substr         | dimensionFilterClause | PARTIAL
      ==             | metricFilterClause    | EQUAL
      >              | metricFilterClause    | GREATER_THAN
      <              | metricFilterClause    | LESS_THAN

    The filter will be "NOT" if the operator is prefixed with "!".

  • interval

    interval can be used as a simpler version of dateRanges. The example above results in:

      dateRanges => [{startDate => "7daysAgo", endDate => "1daysAgo"}]

    Note that endDate will default to "1daysAgo" if not present.

  • metrics

    metrics will be translated from a comma separated string, or passed on directly to Google Analytics if not. The example above results in this query:

      metrics => [{name => "ga:productListClicks"}, {name => "ga:productListViews"}]
  • order_by

    order_by can be used as a simpler version to orderBys. The example above results in:

      orderBys => [{fieldName => "ga:productListClicks", sortOrder => "DESCENDING'}]

    The sort order can be "asc" or "desc". Will result in "SORT_ORDER_UNSPECIFIED" unless present.

  • rows

    Alias for pageSize.

  • viewId

    viewId will be set from "view_id" if not present in the query.

new

  $self = Mojo::GoogleAnalytics->new(%attrs);
  $self = Mojo::GoogleAnalytics->new(\%attrs);
  $self = Mojo::GoogleAnalytics->new("/path/to/credentials.json");

Used to construct a new Mojo::GoogleAnalytics object. Calling new() with a single argument will cause "from_file" to be called with that argument.
