Is there a way to integrate google analytics reporting in a website

Question

One of my clients has requested this feature. They dont want to login to google analytics and want all the tracking/reporting through the site. Is there a way to show reporting inside an asp.net page?

Answer 1

I would advise that get hold of the data by access the Google Analytics API by sending an appropriate HTTP request to the analytics account. It will reply by sending an XML feed that you can parse into a database should you wish to or to a flat file.

Here is a link to the Google Data API

If you plan to make a dashboard out of that data you'll need to either configure a flash object to listen to the data you've parsed or make use of the HTML5 <canvas> object and some javascript if you want on:hover displays of values etc. Depends on your requirements.
