measurement-protocol

In the Documentation for Google Analytics Collection Limits and Quotas It gives the rate limits that are implemented by the various Google-provided libraries. I can't seem to find a published rate limit for users that are POSTing directly to measurement protocol ( https://www.google-analytics.com/collect ). Is there one and if so what is it? Edit on 10 July 2015 - A few commenters asked for an example of the kind of data I am sending in. Using a series of calls to wget with a sleep of one second between each call. Here is an example with the app name and tracking code removed: wget -nv --post

I tried to use google analytics to track some more custom data. So I thought I use the events. The following is the code I tried where I replaced the uuid and user agent : <?php function gen_uuid() { return sprintf( '%04x%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%04x%04x%04x', mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ), mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ), mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ), mt_rand( 0, 0x0fff ) | 0x4000, mt_rand( 0, 0x3fff ) | 0x8000, mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ), mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ), mt_rand( 0, 0xffff ) ); } $data = array( 'v' => 1, 'tid' => 'UA-********-**', 'cid' => gen_uuid(), 't' => 'event' ); $data['ec'] = "category"; $data['ea'] = "product";

I have a website where I send events to Google Analytics using javascript function: ga('send', 'event', 'showphone', 'feedback', 'result'); However I also need to send some similar events from server-side using PHP. I tried this quick start tutorial: Hello Analytics API: PHP quickstart for service accounts and reporting works like a charm, but I have no idea how to send event. Could you please show me step-by-step what I should code to send exactly same event like mentioned above. Hello Analytics API: PHP quickstart for service accounts is not going to help you at all. That code uses the core

How to use event value / view it when I use event tracking with measurement protocol. Currently in events tab in google analytics UI, I can check category , action but cant see the value associated with it that I sent to GA. Thanks Crayon Violent First off, make sure you are passing a correct value to the value argument. The value argument expects an integer value (not string), e.g. // bad _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Category', 'Action', 'Label', "some random string"]); // bad _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Category', 'Action', 'Label', "123"]); // good _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Category', 'Action

I have a special situation where the sites visitors can access the page from a certain domain but no others. So HTML and assets are no problem as long as they are stored on the server. Google Analytics on the other hand requires a download of analytics.js from Googles servers, which is impossible. So I'm looking for a way to proxy this. The webserver itself has internet access and could relay the trafic. To report to Google about my page view, a single pixel GIF is downloaded from Google, described here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsTrackingOverview I
