Google Analytics

Access Google Analytics with managed OAuth authentication. This skill covers both the Admin API (manage accounts, properties, data streams) and the Data API (run reports on metrics).

Quick Start

# List account summaries (Admin API)
curl -s -X GET "https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"

Run a report (Data API)

curl -s -X POST "https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/{propertyId}:runReport" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -d '{"dateRanges": [{"startDate": "30daysAgo", "endDate": "today"}], "dimensions": [{"name": "city"}], "metrics": [{"name": "activeUsers"}]}'

Base URLs

Admin API (manage accounts, properties, data streams):

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/{native-api-path}

Data API (run reports):

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Google Analytics API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to analyticsadmin.googleapis.com and analyticsdata.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai 2. Go to maton.ai/settings 3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

Important: The Admin API and Data API use separate connections:

  • google-analytics-admin - Required for Admin API endpoints (manage accounts, properties, data streams)
  • google-analytics-data - Required for Data API endpoints (run reports)
  • Create the connection(s) you need based on which API you want to use.

    List Connections

    # List Admin API connections
    curl -s -X GET "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-analytics-admin&status=ACTIVE" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"

    List Data API connections

    curl -s -X GET "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-analytics-data&status=ACTIVE" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"

    Create Connection

    # Create Admin API connection (for managing accounts, properties, data streams)
    curl -s -X POST "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -d '{"app": "google-analytics-admin"}'

    Create Data API connection (for running reports)

    curl -s -X POST "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -d '{"app": "google-analytics-data"}'

    Get Connection

    curl -s -X GET "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"
    

    Response:

    {
      "connection": {
        "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
        "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
        "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
        "app": "google-analytics-admin",
        "metadata": {}
      }
    }
    

    Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

    Delete Connection

    curl -s -X DELETE "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"
    

    Specifying Connection

    If you have multiple Google Analytics connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

    curl -s -X GET "https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -H "Maton-Connection: 21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80"
    

    If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}
        }
      }
    );

    // Run a report (Data API) const report = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/123456:runReport', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY} }, body: JSON.stringify({ dateRanges: [{ startDate: '30daysAgo', endDate: 'today' }], dimensions: [{ name: 'country' }], metrics: [{ name: 'activeUsers' }] }) } );

    Python

    import os
    import requests

    List account summaries (Admin API)

    accounts = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-admin/v1beta/accountSummaries', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} )

    Run a report (Data API)

    report = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-analytics-data/v1beta/properties/123456:runReport', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, json={ 'dateRanges': [{'startDate': '30daysAgo', 'endDate': 'today'}], 'dimensions': [{'name': 'country'}], 'metrics': [{'name': 'activeUsers'}] } )

    Notes

  • GA4 properties only (Universal Analytics not supported)
  • Property IDs are numeric (e.g., properties/521310447)
  • Use accountSummaries to quickly list all accessible properties
  • Use updateMask for PATCH requests in Admin API
  • Use metadata endpoint to discover available dimensions/metrics
  • IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) to disable glob parsing
  • IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
  • Error Handling

    | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Google Analytics connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Analytics API |
