Spark Google Analytics Library

A library for querying Google Analytics data with Apache Spark, for Spark SQL and DataFrames.

Requirements

This library requires Spark 1.4+

Linking

You can link against this library in your program at the following coordinates:

Scala 2.10

groupId: com.crealytics
artifactId: spark-google-analytics_2.10
version: 1.1.2

Scala 2.11

groupId: com.crealytics
artifactId: spark-google-analytics_2.11
version: 1.1.2

Using with Spark shell

This package can be added to Spark using the --packages command line option. For example, to include it when starting the spark shell:

Spark compiled with Scala 2.11

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --packages com.crealytics:spark-google-analytics_2.11:1.1.2

Spark compiled with Scala 2.10

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --packages com.crealytics:spark-google-analytics_2.10:1.1.2

Features

This package allows querying Google Analytics reports as Spark DataFrames. The API accepts several options (see the Google Analytics developer docs for details):

serviceAccountId: an account id for accessing the Google Analytics API ([email protected])
keyFileLocation: a key-file that you have to generate from the developer console
clientId: an account id that you have to generate from the developer console using OAuth 2.0 credentials option
clientSecret: a client secret id that you have to obtain from the developer console for OAuth 2.0 credentials client id which you have already generated
refreshToken: a refresh token is need to be obtained by User's Login for which you wanted to collect GA data. Once user login from appropriate call you will get this token in response. See OAuth2WebServer Offline for more information
ids: the ID of the site for which you want to pull the data
startDate: the start date for the report
endDate: the end date for the report
queryIndividualDays: fetches each day from the chosen date range individually in order to minimize sampling (only works if date is chosen as dimension)
calculatedMetrics: the suffixes of any calculated metrics (defined in your GA view) you want to query

Scala API

Spark 1.4+:

import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext

Option 1 : Authentication with Service Account ID and P12 Key File

val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
val df = sqlContext.read
    .format("com.crealytics.google.analytics")
    .option("serviceAccountId", "[email protected]")
    .option("keyFileLocation", "the_key_file.p12")
    .option("ids", "ga:12345678")
    .option("startDate", "7daysAgo")
    .option("endDate", "yesterday")
    .option("queryIndividualDays", "true")
    .option("calculatedMetrics", "averageEngagement")
    .load()


// You need select the date column if using queryIndividualDays
df.select("date", "browser", "city", "users", "calcMetric_averageEngagement").show()

Option 2 : Authentication with Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token

val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
val df = sqlContext.read
    .format("com.crealytics.google.analytics")
    .option("clientId", "XXXXXXXX-xyxyxxxxyxyxxxxxyyyx.apps.googleusercontent.com")
    .option("clientSecret", "73xxYxyxy-XXXYZZx-xZ_Z")
    .option("refreshToken", "1/ezzzxZYzxxyyXYXzyyXXYYyxxxxyyyyxxxy")
    .option("ids", "ga:12345678")
    .option("startDate", "7daysAgo")
    .option("endDate", "yesterday")
    .option("queryIndividualDays", "true")
    .option("calculatedMetrics", "averageEngagement")
    .load()


// You need select the date column if using queryIndividualDays
df.select("date", "browser", "city", "users", "calcMetric_averageEngagement").show()

Building From Source

This library is built with SBT, which is automatically downloaded by the included shell script. To build a JAR file simply run sbt/sbt package from the project root. The build configuration includes support for both Scala 2.10 and 2.11.
