[Read the full security report for Getting Started with Google Analytics Data API](/security/google-analytics-data-api-basics) ## About Getting Started with Google Analytics Data API This works with Google Analytics reporting data: enabling the Analytics Data API through the Cloud CLI and creating reports with the Data API. Use it to interact with analytics properties, run customised reports, query metrics such as activeUsers and screenPageViews against dimensions such as city and date, check whether metrics and dimensions are compatible, or verify that the API is enabled. It is not for Admin API work such as creating properties or managing users, and not for installing front-end tracking. ## What's inside - SKILL.md - instructions - references/dotnet.md - reference - references/go.md - reference - references/java.md - reference - references/nodejs.md - reference - references/php.md - reference - references/python.md - reference - references/ruby.md - reference ## Questions ### Is Getting Started with Google Analytics Data API safe to install?
