Get activity on an individual user

ga_clientid_activity(
  ids,
  viewId,
  id_type = c("CLIENT_ID", "USER_ID"),
  activity_type = NULL,
  date_range = NULL
)

Arguments

ids

The userId or clientId. You can send in a vector of them

viewId

The viewId

id_type

Whether its userId or clientId

activity_type

If specified, filters down response to the activity type. Choice between "PAGEVIEW","SCREENVIEW","GOAL","ECOMMERCE","EVENT"

date_range

A vector of start and end dates. If not used will default to a week.

Value

A list of data.frames: $sessions contains session level data. $hits contains individual activity data

Details

The User Activity API lets you query an individual user's movement through your website, by sending in the individual clientId or userId.

Bear in mind each call will count against your API quota, so fetching a large amount of client ids will be limited by that.

Use ga_clientid_activity_unnest to unnest deeply nested data in the hits data.

The timestamps are available to millisecond level but you will need to set your R options to see them e.g. options(digits.secs=3)
