Is there any way to download the entire google analytics 4 data for a certain period?

I was reading some API documents including https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/basics. However, this API allows downloading certain dimensions and metrics.

request = RunReportRequest(
        property=f"properties/{property_id}",
        dimensions=[Dimension(name="country")],
        metrics=[Metric(name="activeUsers")],
        date_ranges=[DateRange(start_date="2020-09-01", end_date="2020-09-15")],
    )

Is there any way to download the entire data as json or something?

Solution

BigQuery Export allows you to download all your raw events. Using the Data API, you could create individual reports with say 5 dimensions & metrics each; then, you could download your data in slices through say 10 of those reports.

BigQuery and the Data API will have different schemas. For example, BigQuery gives the event timestamp, and the most precise time granularity that the Data API gives is hour. So, your decision between the Data API & BigQuery may depend on which dimensions & metrics you need.

What dimensions & metrics are most important to you?
