Getting all profiles from Google Analytics API

Question

I'm trying to get all profiles using ~all option with this endpoint

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accounts/~all/webproperties/~all/profiles

It doesn't return all profiles due to ~all for accounts. If I include account ID instead of ~all, then it returns profiles based on that account id - which are missing when used with ~all option.

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accounts/89478503/webproperties/~all/profiles

Am I doing something wrong or is this GA API bug?

I sugst you look into using account summaries list

GET https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accountSummaries

This will return all the account information for a user.

{
  "kind": "analytics#accountSummaries",
  "username": "me@gmail.com",
  "totalResults": 15,
  "startIndex": 1,
  "itemsPerPage": 1000,
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "59183475",
      "kind": "analytics#accountSummary",
      "name": "Cube Analytics",
      "webProperties": [
        {
          "kind": "analytics#webPropertySummary",
          "id": "UA-59183475-1",
          "name": "Cube Analytics",
          "internalWebPropertyId": "93305066",
          "level": "STANDARD",
          "websiteUrl": "XXXXXXX",
          "profiles": [
            {
              "kind": "analytics#profileSummary",
              "id": "115455750",
              "name": "Alaternate",
              "type": "WEB"
            },
            {
              "kind": "analytics#profileSummary",
              "id": "97191919",
              "name": "All Web Site Data",
              "type": "WEB"
            },
            {
              "kind": "analytics#profileSummary",
              "id": "178538323",
              "name": "MobileView",
              "type": "APP"
            }
          ]
        },      ]
}

By using this call you should only need to make one call and get all of the information back.
