I'm trying to insert an experiment to Google analytics through their api (using gapi)
var experiment = {
"name": "Testing",
"description": "test",
"status": "READY_TO_RUN",
"variations": [{
"name": "Original",
"url": "http://abc.se",
}, {
"name": "Variant 1",
"url": "http://abc.se/1",
}],
};
gapi.client.analytics.management.experiments.insert({
'accountId': currentProfile['accountId'],
'profileId': currentProfile['profileId'],
'webPropertyId': currentProfile['webPropertyId'],
'resource': experiment
}).execute(callback);
The response-code I get is "code": 500, "message": "There was an internal error.",
Any help will be mostly appreciated. (First question on stackoverflow, I apologize in advance if my question is fuzzy.)
The solution was to add the parameter "objectiveMetric". Altough it is not specified in the documentation.
final code:
var requestBody = {
"name": "testing2", //required
"status": "READY_TO_RUN", //required
"objectiveMetric": "ga:goal11Completions", //required?
"variations": [
{
"name": "test1", //required
"status": "ACTIVE",
"url": "http://abs.se/3" //required
},
{
"name": "test2", //required
"status": "ACTIVE",
"url": "http://abs.se/4" //required
}
]
};
var request = gapi.client.request({
'path': '/analytics/v3/management/accounts/{accountId}/webproperties/{webPropertyId}/profiles/{profileId}/experiments',
'method': 'POST',
'body': JSON.stringify(requestBody)});
request.execute(handleAccounts);
}
Big thanks to Pete for the help.
