Hi PHPUG, Last week Google gave access to the analytics reporting data through a new XML API service. This API gives some pretty powerful tools for making your own reports and metrics in your applications. E-commerce systems can now have conversion metrics right in the product detail pages of your e-commerce backend.
I have been frustrated by the lack of PHP examples for the API, and now that they finally have some third party examples, they are all procedural code. If you are like me and work in symfony, cakePHP, zend framework or maybe even your own OO MVC framework this isn't going to do it. Anyway, <plug> I have created a Google Analytics PHP Interface called the GAPI http://www.sdm.co.nz/google-analytics-php5-api/ I have set up a google code project for this class and have the file ready for you to check out. It is open-source, GNU licensed and I would like other awesome php devs to come on board to help with the next step, which is coming up with some tools for working with the heavily namespaced XML data returned. Let me know if anyone wants svn write access off-board. Download the class, sign up for Google Analytics if you haven't already, and let me know what you think.</plug> Cheers, Stig Manning --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
