Overview:

This component uses the Google’s Core Report API (latest release 4).
You can use different ways to authorize the access:
* Service Accounts for the enterprise users
* Client-ID for native application for the semiprofessional usage
* Can use the current v3 configuratio with v4 of the Analytics API without any changes. Necessary changes to the requests (e.g. the dimension ga:segment) will be added automatically internally.
The component supports a normalised output to allow persisting the report data in a stable data model without always creating new tables for every new report.
In case of errors (which frequently occurse caused by heavy load on Google’s servers) the component tries per default 5 times with an increasing wait time.

It is a good start to check the required query with the API explorer from Google: https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/

IMPORTANT:
Google has recently introduced a complete new system for Analytics called Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The current system supported by this component is now called Universal Analytics (UA).
