run_report

Generate custom Google Analytics reports by specifying property ID, date ranges, dimensions, metrics, filters, and sorting. Use snake_case for field names and manage complex queries efficiently.

Instructions

Runs a Google Analytics Data API report. Note that the reference docs at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta all use camelCase field names, but field names passed to this method should be in snake_case since the tool is using the protocol buffers (protobuf) format. The protocol buffers for the Data API are available at https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/tree/master/google/analytics/data/v1beta. Args: property_id: The Google Analytics property ID. Accepted formats are: - A number - A string consisting of 'properties/' followed by a number date_ranges: A list of date ranges (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/DateRange) to include in the report. dimensions: A list of dimensions to include in the report. metrics: A list of metrics to include in the report. dimension_filter: A Data API FilterExpression (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/FilterExpression) to apply to the dimensions. Don't use this for filtering metrics. Use metric_filter instead. The `field_name` in a `dimension_filter` must be a dimension, as defined in the `get_standard_dimensions` and `get_dimensions` tools. metric_filter: A Data API FilterExpression (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/FilterExpression) to apply to the metrics. Don't use this for filtering dimensions. Use dimension_filter instead. The `field_name` in a `metric_filter` must be a metric, as defined in the `get_standard_metrics` and `get_metrics` tools. order_bys: A list of Data API OrderBy (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/rest/v1beta/OrderBy) objects to apply to the dimensions and metrics. limit: The maximum number of rows to return in each response. Value must be a positive integer <= 250,000. Used to paginate through large reports, following the guide at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/basics#pagination. offset: The row count of the start row. The first row is counted as row 0. Used to paginate through large reports, following the guide at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/basics#pagination. currency_code: The currency code to use for currency values. Must be in ISO4217 format, such as "AED", "USD", "JPY". If the field is empty, the report uses the property's default currency. return_property_quota: Whether to return property quota in the response. ## Hints for arguments Here are some hints that outline the expected format and requirements for arguments. ### Hints for `dimensions` The `dimensions` list must consist solely of either of the following: 1. Standard dimensions defined in the HTML table at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/api-schema#dimensions. These dimensions are available to *every* property. 2. Custom dimensions for the `property_id`. Use the `get_custom_dimensions_and_metrics` tool to retrieve the list of custom dimensions for a property. ### Hints for `metrics` The `metrics` list must consist solely of either of the following: 1. Standard metrics defined in the HTML table at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/api-schema#metrics. These metrics are available to *every* property. 2. Custom metrics for the `property_id`. Use the `get_custom_dimensions_and_metrics` tool to retrieve the list of custom metrics for a property. ### Hints for `date_ranges`: Example date_range arguments: 1. A single date range: [ {"start_date": "2025-01-01", "end_date": "2025-01-31", "name": "Jan2025"} ] 2. A relative date range using 'yesterday' and 'today': [ {"start_date": "yesterday", "end_date": "today", "name": "YesterdayAndToday"} ] 3. A relative date range using 'NdaysAgo' and 'today': [ {"start_date": "30daysAgo", "end_date": "yesterday", "name": "Previous30Days"}] 4. Multiple date ranges: [ {"start_date": "2025-01-01", "end_date": "2025-01-31", "name": "Jan2025"}, {"start_date": "2025-02-01", "end_date": "2025-02-28", "name": "Feb2025"} ] ### Hints for `dimension_filter`: Example dimension_filter arguments: 1. A simple filter: {"filter": {"field_name": "eventName", "string_filter": {"match_type": 2, "value": "add", "case_sensitive": false}}} 2. A NOT filter: {"not_expression": {"filter": {"field_name": "eventName", "string_filter": {"match_type": 2, "value": "add", "case_sensitive": false}}}} 3. An empty value filter: {"filter": {"field_name": "source", "empty_filter": {}}} 4. An AND group filter: {"and_group": {"expressions": [{"filter": {"field_name": "sourceMedium", "string_filter": {"match_type": 1, "value": "google / cpc", "case_sensitive": false}}}, {"filter": {"field_name": "eventName", "in_list_filter": {"values": ["first_visit", "purchase", "add_to_cart"], "case_sensitive": true}}}]}} 5. An OR group filter: {"or_group": {"expressions": [{"filter": {"field_name": "sourceMedium", "string_filter": {"match_type": 1, "value": "google / cpc", "case_sensitive": false}}}, {"filter": {"field_name": "eventName", "in_list_filter": {"values": ["first_visit", "purchase", "add_to_cart"], "case_sensitive": true}}}]}}

Notes: The API applies the dimension_filter and metric_filter independently. As a result, some complex combinations of dimension and metric filters are not possible in a single report request.

For example, you can't create a `dimension_filter` and `metric_filter` combination for the following condition: ( (eventName = "page_view" AND eventCount > 100) OR (eventName = "join_group" AND eventCount < 50) ) This isn't possible because there's no way to apply the condition "eventCount > 100" only to the data with eventName of "page_view", and the condition "eventCount < 50" only to the data with eventName of "join_group". More generally, you can't define a `dimension_filter` and `metric_filter` for: ( ((dimension condition D1) AND (metric condition M1)) OR ((dimension condition D2) AND (metric condition M2)) ) If you have complex conditions like this, either: a) Run a single report that applies a subset of the conditions that the API supports as well as the data needed to perform filtering of the API response on the client side. For example, for the condition: ( (eventName = "page_view" AND eventCount > 100) OR (eventName = "join_group" AND eventCount < 50) ) You could run a report that filters only on: eventName one of "page_view" or "join_group" and include the eventCount metric, then filter the API response on the client side to apply the different metric filters for the different events. or b) Run a separate report for each combination of dimension condition and metric condition. For the example above, you'd run one report for the combination of (D1 AND M1), and another report for the combination of (D2 AND M2). Try to run fewer reports (option a) if possible. However, if running fewer reports results in excessive quota usage for the API, use option b. More information on quota usage is at https://developers.google.com/analytics/blog/2023/data-api-quota-management. ### Hints for `metric_filter`: Example metric_filter arguments: 1. A simple filter: {"filter": {"field_name": "eventCount", "numeric_filter": {"operation": 4, "value": {"int64_value": "10"}}}} 2. A NOT filter: {"not_expression": {"filter": {"field_name": "eventCount", "numeric_filter": {"operation": 4, "value": {"int64_value": "10"}}}}} 3. An empty value filter: {"filter": {"field_name": "purchaseRevenue", "empty_filter": {}}} 4. An AND group filter: {"and_group": {"expressions": [{"filter": {"field_name": "eventCount", "numeric_filter": {"operation": 4, "value": {"int64_value": "10"}}}}, {"filter": {"field_name": "purchaseRevenue", "between_filter": {"from_value": {"double_value": 10.0}, "to_value": {"double_value": 25.0}}}}]}} 5. An OR group filter: {"or_group": {"expressions": [{"filter": {"field_name": "eventCount", "numeric_filter": {"operation": 4, "value": {"int64_value": "10"}}}}, {"filter": {"field_name": "purchaseRevenue", "between_filter": {"from_value": {"double_value": 10.0}, "to_value": {"double_value": 25.0}}}}]}}

More information on quota usage is at https://developers.google.com/analytics/blog/2023/data-api-quota-management. ### Hints for `order_bys`: Example order_bys arguments: 1. Order by ascending 'eventName': [ {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "eventName", "order_type": 1}, "desc": false} ] 2. Order by descending 'eventName', ignoring case: [ {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "campaignName", "order_type": 2}, "desc": true} ] 3. Order by ascending 'audienceId': [ {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "audienceId", "order_type": 3}, "desc": false} ] 4. Order by descending 'eventCount': [ {"metric": {"metric_name": "eventValue"}, "desc": true} ] 5. Order by ascending 'eventCount': [ {"metric": {"metric_name": "eventCount"}, "desc": false} ] 6. Combination of dimension and metric order bys: [ {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "eventName", "order_type": 1}, "desc": false}, {"metric": {"metric_name": "eventValue"}, "desc": true}, ] 7. Order by multiple dimensions and metrics: [ {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "eventName", "order_type": 1}, "desc": false}, {"dimension": {"dimension_name": "audienceId", "order_type": 3}, "desc": false}, {"metric": {"metric_name": "eventValue"}, "desc": true}, ] The dimensions and metrics in order_bys must also be present in the report request's "dimensions" and "metrics" arguments, respectively.
