FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package google-analytics-php
Google Analytics
Google Analytics for fancy-flow — as four imported, versioned packages, one per runtime. Not vendored source: a copy cannot be upgraded, and third-party APIs change.
| Runtime | Package | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring surface (every host) | @particle-academy/google-analytics-ui |
npm install @particle-academy/google-analytics-ui |
| Node | @particle-academy/google-analytics-js |
npm install @particle-academy/google-analytics-js |
| PHP 8.4+ | particle-academy/google-analytics-php |
composer require particle-academy/google-analytics-php |
| Python 3.11+ | fancy-google-analytics |
pip install fancy-google-analytics |
The ui package is the editor surface and is React on every host — a PHP or
Python project installs it and its own runtime package, and never the js one.
What it costs you
One dependency: @particle-academy/fancy-connector-core (or
particle-academy/fancy-connector-core on Composer), which the js and php
packages pull in themselves. The Python package has zero runtime
dependencies.
No Google Analytics SDK. Plain HTTP, deliberately: a vendor SDK is third-party code subject to the kit's full approval bar, and one per provider is hundreds of dependencies nobody is tracking.
Setting it up
Everything below is generated from provider/manifest.json, so it cannot disagree with what the packages do.
Credentials
A Google Analytics connection holds 4 values.
Two kinds of value, and mixing them up matters. A provider credential is ONE value for the whole installation — an OAuth app's client secret serves every connected account. An account credential is one per connected account. A host that stores the second where it stores the first lets one account's credentials reach another's.
| Field | Scope | Secret | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|---|
| OAuth client ID | per installation | not secret | From Google Cloud Console -> APIs & Services -> Credentials. ONE value for the whole installation, not per connected account. |
| OAuth client secret | per installation | secret | The client secret for the same OAuth app. One value for the whole installation. |
| Access token | per connected account | secret | Per connected Google account, and it expires after ONE HOUR. The host refreshes it with the refresh token. |
| Refresh token | per connected account | secret | Per connected Google account. Google issues one only when the consent request asks for offline access. |
Authorising
Google Analytics uses OAuth2 (authorization_code). The package DECLARES the exchange; the HOST performs it — a consent screen needs a browser, a redirect URI and somewhere to persist the result, and all three belong to the host.
- Authorize URL — https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
- Token URL — https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
- Scopes —
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly - Access token lifetime — 3600 seconds (1 hours). A host that never refreshes works all afternoon and is broken by morning.
The refresh tokens do not rotate: the same one is reusable, so a refresh may safely be retried and may run concurrently. Stated rather than assumed, because the opposite — a provider that spends the token and revokes the grant on a replay — looks identical until it happens.
The estate
Google Analytics has no test estate, and somebody checked. Everything this connector does is real. Use the faker to build against it.
Google Analytics has no sandbox. A report reads a real property's real data and spends real quota. The faker returns a plausibly-shaped report so a flow can be built without a Google account.
What it can do
Actions
report_run — Google Analytics report
Run a report against a Google Analytics 4 property.
POST /v1beta/{+property}:runReport · reads only — safe to replay
| Input | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|
property |
yes | The GA4 property, written as properties/1234567890. The numeric id alone is not accepted. |
startDate |
yes | YYYY-MM-DD, or a relative form Google accepts such as 28daysAgo, yesterday or today. |
endDate |
yes | YYYY-MM-DD, or a relative form such as today. |
metrics |
yes | Metric names, comma separated. For example activeUsers, sessions, screenPageViews. |
dimensions |
no | Dimension names, comma separated. For example date, country, pagePath. Leave empty for a single total row. |
Run it before you have credentials
Every operation ships a faker, whether or not Google Analytics has a sandbox. Set a
node's mode to fake and it returns the shape Google Analytics actually publishes — the
same field names, deterministically — so you can wire the downstream nodes before
touching an account, a key, or a network.
This repository is generated
provider/ is the source. Everything under packages/ is emitted from it and
must not be hand-edited — CI regenerates and diffs on every push, and the
next protocol sync destroys anything it finds. See AGENTS.md.
Two namespaces, which do not match on purpose
The repo is github.com/Fancy-Friends/google-analytics; the packages publish under
particle-academy. Nothing derives one from the other — the names come from
weaver's friends.json and nowhere else.
