Google Analytics Measurement Protocol and Tool

gameasure

Google Analytics is actually a pretty powerful event tracking system allowing you to track events, timing tasks, exceptions along with the traditional pageviews. We use the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol to send events to analytics.

Usage

Check out the GoDocs but usage is simple. Create a new GA object with gameasure.New passing the TrackingID and an anonymous ClientID which can be any value. Then use the object to send events.

ga := gameasure.New("UA-XXXXXXX-X", "1231231234")
ga.Event(gameasure.Event{
    Category: "Food",
    Action:   "Eat",
    Label:    "Invoking Food to Eat",
})

Sending Timing Events:

ga := &gameasure.New("UA-XXXXXXX-X", "1231231234")
t := UserTiming{
        Category: "Subscription",
        Variable: "Subscribe",
        Label: "Stripe"
}
t.Begin()
defer func() {
        t.End()
        go ga.UserTiming(t)
}()

// Do Stuff

Use it as a middleware to log API requests to Google Analytics:

r := mux.NewRouter()
r.HandleFunc("/health", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  w.Write([]byte("OK"))
})

trackerIds := map[string]string{
    "api.acksin.com":  "UA-XXXXXXX-1",
    "default":         "UA-XXXXXXX-2",
}

http.ListenAndServe(":8080", gameasure.NewGAHandler(r, trackerIds))

Other supported events are:

• UserTiming
• Pageview
• Exception
