It’s actually an old school “web counter” as we know it and since normally you can’t just extract pageviews data from google analytics to display on your website I have to make use of my old GAAPI class to extract data to create the counter, see example below.

GA Visible Stat

How to use?

  1. Load GAAPI from my old blog though we’ll use only gaapi.class.php here.
  2. Construct gaapi class and call method All Time Page Views (total number of page views) 
    include_once('gaapi.class.php');
$ga=new gaApi('google username','password','ga:site id');
$allTimeSummery=$ga->getAllTimeSummery();
  3. Show the counter using HTML with CSS
    CSS: 

    #vGA{
	width: 100px;
	position: relative;
	font-size: 9px;
	font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
	background: url(poweredBy.gif) no-repeat bottom left;
}
#vGA div{
	text-align: right;
	border: 2px solid #4f6db0;
	color: #555;
	line-height: 15px;
}
#vGA #vGALabel{
	background: #4f6db0;
	text-align: center;
	color: white;
	float: right;
	padding: 0 0 0 2px;
	margin: 0 0 0 2px;
}

    HTML:

    

    <?= $allTimeSummery['ga:pageviews'] ?>
       Views
  4. Save this Powered By Google image into the same folder as others files

    Powered By

And now we’ve got easy Visible Stat from Google Analytic. If you wish to show other data such as Unique Visits you can do so by follow instruction from my old blog Extract data from google analytic with PHP

Put it all together

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#vGA{
	width: 100px;
	position: relative;
	font-size: 9px;
	font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
	background: url(poweredBy.gif) no-repeat bottom left;
}
#vGA div{
	text-align: right;
	border: 2px solid #4f6db0;
	color: #555;
	line-height: 15px;
}
#vGA #vGALabel{
	background: #4f6db0;
	text-align: center;
	color: white;
	float: right;
	padding: 0 0 0 2px;
	margin: 0 0 0 2px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?
include_once('gaapi.class.php');
$ga=new gaApi('google username','password','ga:site id');
$allTimeSummery=$ga->getAllTimeSummery();
?>



<?= $allTimeSummery['ga:pageviews'] ?>
       Views

Using:

  • PHP
  • cURL to connect to Google Analytics Data Extract API
  • PHP DOMDocument to parse XML
  • Google Graph API to show analytic data

Screenshot:

Google Analytic Data Export API with PHP

How to use?

Download full source code here -> GAAPI

Construct and use the class
Include class file and call to construct with params username, password and site id(from url in google analytic account “id=xxxxxxxx”)

include_once('gaapi.class.php');
$ga=new gaApi('google username','google password','ga:site id');
//e.g. ('myname@gmail.com','myPassword','ga:1234567');

Site ID in Google Analytic URL

Analytic ID

Generate Report
This require knowledge of Dimension and Metric from Google Analytic Data Extract API. Basically it is to combine between Dimensions and Metrics to generate reports through method genReport(array). For examples.

$params = array ('metrics' 		=> 'ga:visits',
				'dimensions'	=> 'ga:source',
				'start-date' 	=> '2010-01-01',
				'end-date' 		=> '2010-02-09',
				'max-results' 	=> '5',
				'filter'		=> 'ga:source != (direct)',
				'sort'			=> '-ga:visits');
$result=$ga->genReport($params);
print_r($result);

The result will be collection of array like this.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [ga:source] => google
            [ga:visits] => 5029
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [ga:source] => xxxxxxx.com
            [ga:visits] => 162
        )
    [2] => Array
        (
            [ga:source] => search
            [ga:visits] => 49
        )
)

Also there’s some pre-made method of frequency use statistic in my class such as:

$now=date("Y-m-d");
$lastmonth=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days'));

//Summery: visitors, unique visit, pageview, time on site, new visits, bounce rates
$summery=$ga->getSummery($lastmonth,$now);

//All time summery: visitors, page views
$allTimeSummery=$ga->getAllTimeSummery();

//Last 10 days visitors (for graph)
$visits=$ga->getVisits($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 search engine keywords
$topKeywords=$ga->getTopKeyword($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 visitor countries
$topCountries=$ga->getTopCountry($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 page views
$topPages=$ga->getTopPage($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 referrer websites
$topReferrer=$ga->getTopReferrer($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 visitor browsers
$topBrowsers=$ga->getTopBrowser($lastmonth,$now,10);

//Top 10 visitor operating systems
$topOs=$ga->getTopOs($lastmonth,$now,10);

Each method generate collection of array with dimension and metric name as key
