We've been using the google discovery api for analytics setup to make the request: "https://analytics.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4" This has been working fine for over two years now, however just today it's started responding with:
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 403 when requesting https://analytics.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4 returned "The request is missing a valid API key.">
I cannot seem to find any status on this api but I feel as if something might have changed.
Manual testing has been performed and I've replicated the issue consistently.
>>> credentials = oauth2client.client.GoogleCredentials("<redacted>", "<redacted>", "<redacted>", "<redacted>", None, "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", "UserAgentHere")
>>> credentials

Try to change discoveryServiceUrl to
'https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4'
Example:
build("analytics", "v4", http=http, cache_discovery=False,
discoveryServiceUrl='https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v4'
)
but it only works for reporting, not for management api
Update:
You can also change service name from 'analytics' to 'analyticsreporting'.
build("analyticsreporting", "v4", http=http, cache_discovery=False,)
'analytics' service name was used for 'api version 3' and was the same for all scopes. If you're using a 'reporting core api v4', you should change the name to 'analyticsreporting'.
