Google Analytics Admin API .NET Client Library Installation

This guide provides specific instructions for installing and setting up the Google Analytics Admin API client library for .NET / C#.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK: .NET Core 3.1, .NET Standard 2.0, or .NET 6.0+.
• Package Manager: NuGet / dotnet CLI.
• Authentication: Application Default Credentials (ADC) configured via gcloud auth application-default login.

Installation

Install the official NuGet package.

[!NOTE] For package options and versions, see the NuGet Google.Analytics.Admin.V1Beta Page.

Using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Google.Analytics.Admin.V1Beta

If dotnet is not available, prompt the user to install the .NET CLI before installing the package.

Or via Package Manager Console in Visual Studio:

Install-Package Google.Analytics.Admin.V1Beta

Why: The NuGet package contains strongly typed protobuf models and gRPC service clients for .NET applications.

Quickstart / Usage

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Google.Analytics.Admin.V1Beta;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main()
    {
        // Initialize client. Uses Application Default Credentials.
        AnalyticsAdminServiceClient client = await AnalyticsAdminServiceClient.CreateAsync();

        // List account summaries
        var response = client.ListAccountSummariesAsync(new ListAccountSummariesRequest());
        await foreach (AccountSummary summary in response)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Account: {summary.DisplayName} ({summary.Name})");
        }
    }
}
