Why it matters
It makes repeatable property and segment analysis possible without manually exporting each report.
How to use it
Send a property, date range, dimensions, filters, aggregation type, row limit, and data state; then interpret results within documented limits.
Limits and interpretation
The API is not a complete database export. It returns top rows and applies aggregation, privacy, and row limits. Hourly partial data and some dimensions depend on supported data states.
Common mistakes
Adding page and query dimensions without understanding aggregation; calling row counts complete totals; mixing partial and finalized dates; ignoring permission errors.
