使用Google Analytics（分析），是否可以使用API​​（以编程方式）创建自定义维度

Question

I am working on a SaaS application, where I let user(s) to use their own google analytics account for tracking their site.

While tracking, I also wants to take benefit of custom dimensions. It is not possible to telling/educating each client( most of them are non-technical ) about " how to create custom dimension/metric using Google Analytic Interface ".

Is there any way, that I can create custom dimension using code. something like

ga('<command>','<dimension name>', '<index>', '<scope>')  

Answer 1

You can create Custom Dimensions in the Google Analytics Management API, see: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/management/customDimensions/insert

There is some example code for working with the api here: https://github.com/google/google-api-java-client-samples/tree/master/analytics-cmdline-sample

Good luck :)
