API

This is a call to a script with GET parameters that returns an array of values as a JSON. That's all.

The following are the available parameters and their defaults:

GET parameter	possible values	defaults	comment
metrics	string	ga:users	Which metrics to query. Can be a list of comma separated metrics.
from	string	14daysAgo	Data range start for queried metrics
to	string	today	Data range end for queried metrics
dimensions	string	ga:date	Which dimensions are used to divide the queried metrics. ga:date means that you'll get a row per day.
sort	string	-ga:date	Wich dimension will be used to sort the queried metrics. Note that the minus in front means DESC order.
simplify	int	0	Discards rows from result, returning only one every n defined. A 0 means no simplification done. Useful for huge resultsets.
