Core Reporting API Migration Update
Back in
December we launched the Core Reporting API to replace the Data Export API. We also
announced that we would be shutting down the old Data Export API and that all applications
should migrate to the new version.
The time has come for us to shut down the old version. So this is our last
reminder
to migrate to the new Core Reporting API.
Starting next week, we’ll begin redirecting a portion of Data Export API requests to the Core
Reporting API as we prepare to shut down the Data Export API on July 10th. So you'll begin to
see Data Feed requests return a Core Reporting API response, and requests for the Account Feed
will produce an error.
If you do not migrate, your application will experience service outages.

New Guides To Get You Started Fast
It’s important for the Google Analytics APIs to be open and accessible to all developers. It’s
common practice for developers learning a new API to start off with the basics and
incrementally build from this foundation.
So with that in mind, we wrote a new
Hello
Analytics API tutorial to give you that basic foundation. The tutorial includes
sample code for Java, PHP, Python, and JavaScript. It also walks you through the basic steps
of using the Google Analytics API, including registration, authorizing users, retrieving
account and profile information, and querying for a report. Once complete you will have a
working example that you can customize.
To make it even easier to build applications, we’ve also updated the developer guides for both
the
Core
Reporting API and
Management
API. Examples for a variety of programming languages have been included, but more
importantly the basic concepts have been highlighted.
So whether you’re just starting, updating, or migrating to the new version, you should check
out the
Hello
Analytics API tutorial and
Developer Guides before
settling down to write that
awesome
application.
