Google Analytics API returned User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile

I have run a code followed the instruction below https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-py

from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials


SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly']
KEY_FILE_LOCATION = 'path/to/keyfile'
VIEW_ID = '<REPLACE_WITH_VIEW_ID>'


def initialize_analyticsreporting():
  "Initializes an Analytics Reporting API V4 service object.

  Returns:
    An authorized Analytics Reporting API V4 service object.
  """
  credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
      KEY_FILE_LOCATION, SCOPES)

  # Build the service object.
  analytics = build('analyticsreporting', 'v4', credentials=credentials)

  return analytics


def get_report(analytics):
  """Queries the Analytics Reporting API V4.

  Args:

  return analytics.reports().batchGet(

        }]
      }
  ).execute()

    for row in report.get('data', {}).get('rows', []):
      dimensions = row.get('dimensions', [])
      dateRangeValues = row.get('metrics', [])

      for header, dimension in zip(dimensionHeaders, dimensions):
        print(header + ': ', dimension)

        for metricHeader, value in zip(metricHeaders, values.get('values')):

Actually, I can't find View ID on Admin Settings. It just Account and Property. Is it because my property is App + Web and it still Beta? But, when I try to create a new property with App only, it is automatically changed to App + Web.

So confused in the first step trying Google Analytics API.

Solution

  • The Google Analytics Data API v1 is the new API for GA4 properties. See the devsite: https://developers.google.com/analytics/trusted-testing/analytics-data. The Data API v1 accepts a numeric GA4 property identifiers in report requests.

    Firebase show projects. The project ID and number shown in Firebase is not a GA4 Property identifier. To find your GA4 Property identifier:

    1. Navigate to the Firebase Analytics Dashboard,
    2. select the option "View your data in Google Analytics".
    3. In Google Analytics, select "Admin" and "Property Settings".
    4. A numeric "PROPERTY ID" will be shown. The Data API v1 accepts this GA4 Property Id in report request.

    App + Web Properties were recently renamed to GA4 Properties. See the blog post: https://blog.google/products/marketingplatform/analytics/new_google_analytics/.

    The Google Analytics API v3 (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3) and Google Analytics Reporting API v4 (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4) accept numeric view identifiers in report requests.

    GA4 Properties do not have views, and there is not a way to create views in those properties.
