How to implement "Hourly, Day, Week, Month" functionality via Google Analytics Reporting API?
I need to replicate some of the functionality of google analytics in my web application via Reporting API. I know how to use it. The one I can figure out how to implement "Hourly, Day, Week, Month" functionality.
When I click any of those buttons, the selected date-frame remains the same, only the chart changes but how exactly it changes I can't understand because, again, selected date-frame remains the same. I want to get the explanation of how it works and how to implement it. I don't need the exact code, pseudo code is ok.
Clicking the buttons changes the period which each data point on the graph represents.
So for the graph in your example, when daily is selected each data point represents a different date, while for month each point represents a different month.
e.g. In GA if time period is 19th-25th April then selecting day will show 7 data points, 1 for each day, while selecting month will show 1 data point representing the whole week.
However if month button pressed and the period is 16th March to 15th April, then there will be two data points, one representing 16th-31st March and the other representing 1st-15th April.
