I am using google analytics data API. Making an API Call as listed here - https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/quickstart-client-libraries.
My question is how do I enabled google analytics Data API for an already existing project. I need access to specific property ID.
any information is highly appreciated.
You have to follow Step 1 (Enable the API) and Step 2 (Add service account to the Google Analytics 4 property) in your link. Then use your property ID called Measurement ID (i.e. G-XXXXXXXX) that you can find in Data Streams (selecting a Data Stream) in Google Analytics 4 Admin Panel.
Following google support link, you should first log into analytics.google, then in admin page .
then click on GA4 setup Assistant like the photo

App Engagement Campaigns that are present in the Google Analytics Interface are not present in BigQuery.
All other campaign data gets transferred to BigQuery.
Is there a specific reason for this behavior in the transfer job?
The transfer job only uses the Google Adwords v201809 version of the API.
App Engagement Campaigns were only added in the newer Google Ads API.
You will need to set up a connection the the new API in order to pull in that type of campaign (as well as a host of other ad types).
Is there any way to get source info from Google Analytics for specific Client ID by API?
Like I can get it using GUI in GA - https://prnt.sc/rdfpo6

The Client ID isn't exposed via the API (same with the User ID), so instead you want to record the Client ID as a custom dimension:
https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/improve-data-collection-with-four-custom-dimensions/#2-client-id
And then you can query it via the API using ga:dimensionXX where XX is the dimension index:

I have gone through a tutorial that takes me to the console.developers.google.com/ webpage. I created a new project, then i went to API & Auth .. clicked on the API key to try to then scroll down and select the Youtube Data API v3 and it is NOT there, why? I need to get the API key for an application I am using. I have logged in to two separate accounts and it is not available in either account. I need help in finding the API key so that I can use it in an application. I called the adwords team and asked them and they asked me to send a question to you in this forum.
By default, there were a few Google Cloud APIs enabled by default. When they were enabled, the Youtube Data API was not showing up in the list of available APIs. I disabled all the preselected APIs, and then the Youtube Data and Analytics APIs were available.
Looks like you just have to disable the default selections for some reason.
I've created an app for Google Analytics in the API console. I am trying to list out custom segments that have been created, but have noticed that I cannot view existing Segments that have been created.
I followed this example: Service Applications and Google Analytics API V3: Server-to-server OAuth2 authentication?
For instance, I log in to my google analytics account, grant access to a profile, then in the google analytics profile, I create a sample segment.
Calling this:
$service->management_segments->listManagementSegments();
I would expect to see my "test segment" but don't see it.
Is there an additional step that I would need to grant my service account the ability to see the custom segments setup?
This example here shows the custom segments:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/management/segments/list
I am hoping someone can clarify the workflow. Thanks!
Since segments are tied to google accounts, not service accounts, they aren't available. It's best to grab segment definitions using the web server workflow, or use dynamic filters instead of segments.
I'm using Google Analytics on my website and I'm wondering if it's possible to make a Javascript call to GA to obtain certain information about the current visitor such as the persons current location.
Does GA have an on page API that allows to obtain sessions specific information?
Google Analytics does not provide data for single visitors (not via the API nor otherwise - this is a privacy thing) so the answer is no.
Besides most data in GA in drawn from the users browser anyway, so querying GA to get it would be an unnecessary roundtrip.
For location there a IP based services (for example ip2location.com) or the HTML5 geolocation API.
