Method: properties.runPivotReport

  • The runPivotReport method returns a customized pivot report of your Google Analytics event data.

  • The request uses a POST method with a URL that includes the Google Analytics property identifier.

  • The request body contains parameters for specifying dimensions, metrics, date ranges, pivots, filters, currency, cohort specifications, and options for handling empty rows and returning property quota.

  • The response body, if successful, contains an instance of RunPivotReportResponse .

  • Accessing this method requires specific OAuth scopes related to Google Analytics authorization.

Returns a customized pivot report of your Google Analytics event data. Pivot reports are more advanced and expressive formats than regular reports. In a pivot report, dimensions are only visible if they are included in a pivot. Multiple pivots can be specified to further dissect your data.

HTTP request

POST https://analyticsdata.googleapis.com/v1beta/{property=properties/*}:runPivotReport

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
property

string

A Google Analytics property identifier whose events are tracked. Specified in the URL path and not the body. To learn more, see where to find your Property ID . Within a batch request, this property should either be unspecified or consistent with the batch-level property.

Example: properties/1234

Fields
dimensions[]

object ( Dimension )

The dimensions requested. All defined dimensions must be used by one of the following: dimensionExpression, dimensionFilter, pivots, orderBys.

metrics[]

object ( Metric )

The metrics requested, at least one metric needs to be specified. All defined metrics must be used by one of the following: metric_expression, metricFilter, orderBys.

date Ranges[]

object ( DateRange )

The date range to retrieve event data for the report. If multiple date ranges are specified, event data from each date range is used in the report. A special dimension with field name "dateRange" can be included in a Pivot's field names; if included, the report compares between date ranges. In a cohort request, this dateRanges must be unspecified.

pivots[]

object ( Pivot )

Describes the visual format of the report's dimensions in columns or rows. The union of the fieldNames (dimension names) in all pivots must be a subset of dimension names defined in Dimensions. No two pivots can share a dimension. A dimension is only visible if it appears in a pivot.

dimension Filter

object ( FilterExpression )

The filter clause of dimensions. Dimensions must be requested to be used in this filter. Metrics cannot be used in this filter.

metric Filter

object ( FilterExpression )

The filter clause of metrics. Applied at post aggregation phase, similar to SQL having-clause. Metrics must be requested to be used in this filter. Dimensions cannot be used in this filter.

currency Code

string

A currency code in ISO4217 format, such as "AED", "USD", "JPY". If the field is empty, the report uses the property's default currency.

cohort Spec

object ( CohortSpec )

Cohort group associated with this request. If there is a cohort group in the request the 'cohort' dimension must be present.

keep Empty Rows

boolean

If false or unspecified, each row with all metrics equal to 0 will not be returned. If true, these rows will be returned if they are not separately removed by a filter.

Regardless of this keepEmptyRows setting, only data recorded by the Google Analytics property can be displayed in a report.

For example if a property never logs a purchase event, then a query for the eventName dimension and eventCount metric will not have a row eventName: "purchase" and eventCount: 0.

return Property Quota

boolean

Toggles whether to return the current state of this Google Analytics property's quota. Quota is returned in PropertyQuota .

comparisons[]

object ( Comparison )

Optional. The configuration of comparisons requested and displayed. The request requires both a comparisons field and a comparisons dimension to receive a comparison column in the response.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance of RunPivotReportResponse .

Authorization scopes

Requires one of the following OAuth scopes:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics
