Filter by country

Question

I want get all regions for a country from my Google Analytics account. I wrote the below code to get all regions:

$metrics = 'ga:visits';
$dimensions = 'ga:country=$iso,ga:region,ga:regionId';

$ga = $this->getGa();
$gaResponse = $ga->data_ga->get('ga:122752178', $start, $end, $metrics, ['dimensions' => $dimensions]);
$resultset = $gaResponse->getRows();

So, how i can get all regions for a country ? For example, Argentina (AR).

Answer 1

First a suggestion: Try your query out in the query Explorer.

Answer: Use the filters parameter.

Filter by ga:country==Argentina.

$metrics = 'ga:sessions';

$optParams = array(
  'dimensions' => 'ga:country,ga:region,ga:regionId',
  'sort' => '-ga:sessions',
  'filters' => 'ga:country==Argentina',
  'max-results' => '25');

$ga = $this->getGa();
$gaResponse = $ga->data_ga->get(
    $ids,
    $start,
    $end,
    $metrics,
    $optParams);
$resultset = $gaResponse->getRows();

This will get you a list of all the regions from which you had sessions, not an extensive list of regions within a country.

Also ga:visists is deprecated, you should use ga:sessions, see the Core Reporting API Docs and Dimensions and Metrics Reference.
