DateRanges for Google Analytics Data API

Question

I have been successfully running a runRealtimeReport function from Google Analytics Data API, but I am currently struggling to run a runReport function.

Here is my code which I try to use:

$client->runReport([
                    'entity' => ['property_Id' => config('app.ga.propertyID')],
                    'dateRanges' => [new DateRange(['startDate' => '28daysago']),
                        new DateRange(['endDate' => 'today'])],
                    'dimensions' => [new Dimension([
                        'name' => 'sessionSource'
                    ])
                    ],
                    'metrics' =>[
                        [new Metric([
                            'name' => 'activeUsers'
                        ])],
                    [new Metric([
                        'name' => 'sessions'
                    ])],
                    [new Metric([
                        'name' => 'engagedSessions'
                    ])],
                    [new Metric([
                        'name' => 'userEngagementDuration'
                    ])],
                    [new Metric([
                        'name' => 'eventsPerSession'
                    ])],
                    [new Metric([
                        'name' => 'engagementRate'
                    ])]
                ]]);

No matter how I try to pass the values for DateRange, the API constantly fails and throws the following error:

Invalid message property: startDate

I am using an idiomatic PHP client for this

You need to specify both the startDate and endDate in one Date Range. As written, you've specified the startDate and endDate in two separate date ranges. Please update to:

'dateRanges' => [new DateRange(['start_date' => '28daysago',
                               'end_date' => 'today'])],
