Google Analytics Admin API Java Client Library Installation

This guide provides specific instructions for installing and setting up the Google Analytics Admin API client library for Java.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK): Java 8 or higher (Java 11+ recommended).
• Build Tool: Maven or Gradle.
• Authentication: Application Default Credentials (ADC) configured via gcloud auth application-default login.

Installation

Add the official Google Analytics Admin client library dependency to your project.

[!NOTE] For more information and full documentation, refer to the Google Cloud Java Analytics Admin Repository.

[!TIP] Always replace LATEST_LIBRARY_VERSION with the latest stable version of the dependency available on Maven Central.

Option A: Maven (pom.xml)

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml inside <dependencies>:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-analytics-admin</artifactId>
  <version>LATEST_LIBRARY_VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Why: Using Maven ensures transitive dependencies (like Netty, gRPC, and Google Auth Library) are automatically resolved.

Option B: Gradle (build.gradle)

Add the following to your dependencies block:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-analytics-admin:LATEST_LIBRARY_VERSION'

Quickstart / Usage

Initialize the client using try-with-resources to automatically close the gRPC channel:

import com.google.analytics.admin.v1beta.AnalyticsAdminServiceClient;
import com.google.analytics.admin.v1beta.AccountSummary;

public class AdminApiDemo {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // Initialize the client. Automatically authenticates using ADC.
    try (AnalyticsAdminServiceClient client = AnalyticsAdminServiceClient.create()) {
      for (AccountSummary summary : client.listAccountSummaries().iterateAll()) {
        System.out.printf("Account: %s (%s)%n", summary.getDisplayName(), summary.getName());
      }
    }
  }
}
