I used the following API code to get data from Google analytics. but now I need to split it because I need to get user authorization and then create a crone job every hour (without having to ask another permission) from a different server to get GA data.
What changes should be made?
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<p class="g-signin2" data-onsuccess="queryReports"></p>
<script>
// Replace with your view ID.
var VIEW_ID = 'ga:104831427';
// Query the API and print the results to the page.
function queryReports() {
gapi.client.request({
path: '/v4/reports:batchGet',
root: 'https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/',
method: 'POST',
body: {
reportRequests: [
{
viewId: VIEW_ID,
dateRanges: [
{
startDate: '7daysAgo',
endDate: 'today'
}
],
"metrics": [
{
"expression": "ga:sessions"
}
],
"dimensions": [
{ "name": "ga:date" }
]
}
]
}
}).then(displayResults, console.error.bind(console));
}
function displayResults(response) {
var formattedJson = JSON.stringify(response.result, null, 2);
window.parent.postMessage({formattedJson:(formattedJson)}, "my-domain.com");
}
</script>
<!-- Load the JavaScript API client and Sign-in library. -->

You can use the Google SuperProxy to fetch the results for you https://developers.google.com/analytics/solutions/google-analytics-super-proxy
Furthermore, you can use the extend the token using the below:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token?client_id=CLIENT_ID
&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET
&refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN
&grant_type=refresh_token
More details on how to do it is available here: http://thisistony.com/blog/googleanalytics/google-analytics-api-oauth-ever-wondered-how-to-get-the-access_token/
