How to obtain the credentials to communicate with Google Analytics
Getting credentials
The first thing you’ll need to do is to get some credentials to use Google API’s. I’m assuming that you’ve already created a Google account and are signed in. Head over to Google API’s site and select or create a project.
Next up we must specify which API’s the project may consume. Go to the API Library and search for "Google Analytics Data API".
Choose enable to enable the API.
Now that you’ve created a project that has access to the Analytics API it’s time to download a file with these credentials. Click "Credentials" in the sidebar. You’ll want to create a "Service account key".
On the next screen you can give the service account a name. You can name it anything you’d like. In the service account id you’ll see an email address. We’ll use this email address later on in this guide.
Go to the details screen of your created service account and select "keys", from the "Add key" dropdown select "Create new key".
Select "JSON" as the key type and click "Create" to download the JSON file.
Save the json inside your Laravel project at the location specified in the service_account_credentials_json key of the config file of this package. Because the json file contains potentially sensitive information I don't recommend committing it to your git repository.
Granting permissions to your Analytics property
I'm assuming that you've already created a Analytics account on the Analytics site and are using the new GA4 properties.
First you will need to know your property ID. In Analytics, go to Settings > Property Settings. Here you will be able to copy your property ID. Use this value for the ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID key in your .env file.
Now we will need to give access to the service account you created. Go to "Property Access Management" in the Admin-section of the property. Click the plus sign in the top right corner to add a new user.
On this screen you can grant access to the email address found in the client_email key from the json file you download in the previous step. Analyst role is enough.
