How to use API to get subscription data (Customer name; value of subscription; payment status;) into a google spreadsheet from Chargebee?
I am aware of ChargeBee Subscription API documentation,
(https://apidocs.chargebee.com/docs/api/subscriptions?prod_cat_ver=1#retrieve_a_subscription)
Still, not sure how to use them and fetch data into a google spreadsheet.
First time working on an API, very little clue on how to get it done.
Assuming in a real world scenario you have to fetch huge list of subscription data, instead of exporting data from Chargebee via API. The correct and easiest approach will be to export via Export/Import GUI available in Web Console. The export file will be in CSV/Excel Sheet format which you can upload to the Google Spreadsheet.

I need help writing a simple script or example for "Code.gs" in Google Sheets using the BigQuery to import from Google Local Ads API (Not Google Ads) to Google Sheets. The information needed would be everything that the LSA API has to has offer. I have currently done a lot of research on the back end and can't seem to find any examples on how to write function scripts for importing from Google LSA. Thank you in advance for your help.
What I have set up.
I have created my Oauth credentials and tokens
Tested the tokens in Google playground to ensure that everything works correctly.
What I need done:
Need a function script (for Google Sheets - Code.gs) that can grab my local service ads api info to into Google Sheets using the BigQuery API scripting language.
I want to insert a blob object (.jpg image) with Google Sheets API.
Does Google Sheets API allow for blobs inside the spreadsheet's cells?
I know that inserting the image directly into the spreadsheet by hand without using API is possible.
In the current stage, unfortunately, the image blob cannot be directly put into Google Spreadsheet using Sheets API. So, it is required to use the workarounds. In this answer, I would like to propose the 2 workarounds for achieving your goal.
Pattern 1:
In this pattern, IMAGE of the built-in function of Google Spreadsheet is used. The flow is as follows.
Upload the image to Google Drive using Drive API.
Share publicly the uploaded image using Drive API and receive the URL of the image.
Put a function of =IMAGE("URL") to a cell using Sheets API.
By this flow, your goal is achieved. If you can know the direct link of the image, you can directly use only the 3rd flow of the above flow.
Pattern 2:
In this pattern, the image is inserted into the Spreadsheet using Web Apps created by Google Apps Script.
Upload the image to Google Drive using Web Apps.
Put the image blob into the Spreadsheet using Web Apps.
By this flow, your goal is achieved.

I have a Firebase dynamic link and will like to get the click analytics data from BigQuery. I am aware that it is possible to retrieve the click data via Firebase Analytics API but I will like to know if it is possible to get the click data from BigQuery instead?
I have already setup Firebase to send data to BigQuery, based on my exploration, I found that the data collected there are all based on app usage. Events like dynamic_link_app_open do seem relevant but they don't give the complete picture because events outside the app are not collected.
I am using Google BigQuery for storing user's analytics from my site.
User's Tag data is stored by using GTM datalayer
My Question: How to send data from GTM to Google BigQuery?
As far as I understand, you want to collect event data from the users.
I can offer 2 different options for it:
Easy and common one is, you can send your data to Google Analytics, and then export it to BigQuery daily.
The second one is, you can create a REST Api, and send requests to that server for every event. At the backend app, you can store data in a database or send it to BigQuery directly.
I would recommend you to prepare list of events you want to analyze in BigQuery, and then if you already have it, you can send them here, so we can recommend more tangible alternatives.
There are companies out there that claim to "integrate" data into GA. I know some phone call tracking companies in particular. Is there a way that they are uploading data to GA through the API or are they using some other method that doesn't require that?
There is no upload mechanism into Google Analytics besides manual __utm.gif calls like in the browser. Both Google Analytics APIs (Data Export and Management) are completely Read-Only.
There are a few ways these solutions work, but one of them is to generate a unique identifier for the person calling in to give the person on the other line. That code is linked to their referral information (grabbing from the cookies). Another solution is to have the customer manually input their phone number. That phone number is then dialed by the software and connected to the live person, and in the background the phone number is linked to the source information from the cookies.
Then, the person receiving the call either inputs the code it into the system, or automatically has the user's information, and at the completion of the call, depending on how it is resolved, can generate things like e-commerce transactions or particular pageviews for Goals, so it can generate __utm.gif calls with the relevant campaign and user data appended. As far as Google Analytics is concerned, the request formed is the same user. The only thing that will be different is the User Location (which is fairly inaccurate to begin with.)
ie, if I take the __utm.gif call from my computer, paste it to you, and you click it, Google will see that as an another pageview on this visit, and for most purposes ignore that the differing locations.
Well, Google Analytics works off the a tracking GIF with all kinds of data appended to it, so it can certainly be reproduced by these phone call tracking folks without a problem.
Phone call comes, request the 1x1.gif from google with tracking data suiting your needs, and the hit+data will soon register on GA.

There are several options to send tracking data to Google analytics.
Use a library which implements the ga.js script server-side
When you use Google Analytics in the way described by Google, you include a script on your website. This script sends data from the visitors browser to the Google Analytics server.
This script has been reverse engineered and implemented in server-side libraries. Now you can send the same data from the server to the Google Analytics server. You can use PHP-GA for PHP or pyga for Python.
Use the Google Analytics measurement protocol
The Google Analytics measurement protocol is a new API to send data to Google Analytics. You can send data by sending POST requests to the API.
