Google Analytics Admin API PHP Client Library Installation

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

Prerequisites

• PHP: Version 8.0 or higher.
• Package Manager: Composer.
• Authentication: Application Default Credentials (ADC) configured via gcloud auth application-default login.

Installation

Install the library using Composer.

[!NOTE] For full installation details, refer to the PHP Analytics Admin Repository.

Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require google/analytics-admin

If composer is not available, prompt the user to install Composer before installing the package.

Why: Composer installs the Google Analytics Admin client library and autoloader along with its authentication dependencies.

Quickstart / Usage

Make sure to include Composer's autoloader before initializing the client:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Google\Analytics\Admin\V1beta\Client\AnalyticsAdminServiceClient;
use Google\Analytics\Admin\V1beta\ListAccountSummariesRequest;

// Initialize the client. Uses ADC from environment.
$client = new AnalyticsAdminServiceClient();

$request = new ListAccountSummariesRequest();
$accountSummaries = $client->listAccountSummaries($request);

foreach ($accountSummaries as $summary) {
    printf("Account: %s (%s)\n", $summary->getDisplayName(), $summary->getName());
}
