Getting Started

Connecting from RAD Studio

The CData FireDAC Components for Google Analytics implement the standard FireDAC classes and integrate Google Analytics into RAD Studio wizards. You can access the components from the RAD Studio Tool Palette and use the components alongside standard FireDAC classes like TFDQuery, TFDManager, and TFDConnection.

Connecting from Google Analytics

See Establishing a Connection to connect with the Data Explorer and FireDAC Connection Editor wizards.

RAD Studio Version Support

RAD Studio 10.4 (Sydney) and above are supported.

Google Analytics Version Support

The component supports both Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4 APIs. The component provides a relational view of the Google Analytics profiles in your Google account or across your Google Apps domain. The component includes tables that contain often-used dimensions and metrics as columns; additionally, you can customize the table schemas or write your own to combine any valid set of dimensions and metrics. The component exposes the columns available through the Google Analytics Management API (Universal Analytics), the Google Anlytics Core Reporting API (Universal Analytics), the Data API (Google Analytics 4) and the Admin API (Google Analytics 4). You must enable these APIs by creating a project in the Google Developers Console. See "Connecting to Google Analytics" for a guide to creating a project and authenticating to the APIs.

Dependencies

CData FireDAC components require the 2010 version of the VC++ (x86/x64) redistributable package that matches the bitness of RAD Studio being used. You can download this from Microsoft:
