New Analytics APIs for large companies
By Nick Mihailovski, Product Manager, Google
Analytics
Many large companies
have unique needs, with dozens of websites and many users. In the past, configuring Google
Analytics for these companies was time-consuming and required too many
clicks.
We're thrilled to
announce a new set of APIs that will make it even easier for large companies to manage
multiple websites. These APIs will streamline the
Google Analytics setup process, allowing IT teams to programmatically
manage and configure Google Analytics, so teams can focus their efforts on analysis and
gaining insights.
Account Setup and
Configuration APIs
To simplify account setup, we’ve added new APIs to manage Properties, Profiles,
and Goals. This reduces the time it takes to build new account structures, and allows you to
enable new features across all your existing accounts.
User Permissions
APIs
To reduce the overhead in managing user access, we’ve also added APIs to manage
user permissions across all your accounts. With these APIs, you can quickly list which users
have access to your accounts. You can also now write programs to sync Google Analytics users
with corporate directory services such as LDAP.
The User Permissions
APIs are public and can be used today.
Getting
Started
To get started,
you can find all the API resources on our Google
Analytics APIs for Large Companies page. This launch brings new opportunities to developers, IT Teams, and Google
Analytics users. Let us know what you think!
Nick Mihailovski oversees the Google Analytics APIs. In his spare time, he likes to
travel around the world.
