How do I get raw logs from Google Analytics?

Question

Is it possible to obtain raw logs from Google Analytic? Is there any tool that can generate the raw logs from GA?

Answer 1

You can get the Analytics data, but it'll take a bit of hacking.

In any analytics report, click the 'email' button at the top of the screen. Set up the email to go to your address (or a new address on your server) and change the format to csv or xml.

Then, you can use php (or another language) to check the email account, parse the email and import the attachment to your system.
