    Consuming Google Analytics data from a NodeJs application using a service account

I didn't have a great time trying to implement a simple feature involving Google Analytics in one of my projects (nodejs web application).
My humble requirement was to collect some data (events) I was pushing to Google Analytics in order to create a simple report for my users.
Since it isn't a critical report, my idea was to get the data once a day and cache it.
So, as simple as it seems, it has been a tough trip for me and I want to share the whole process with the community. I hope anyone trying to achive something similar gets to this article and find it helpful.
These are the main steps I had to take:

  
## nodejs.sh
#!/bin/bash

# nodejs - Startup script for node.js server

# chkconfig: 35 85 15
# description: node is an event-based web server.
# processname: node
# server: /path/to/your/node/file.js
# pidfile: /var/run/nodejs.pid
#

## node_debian_init.sh
#!/bin/sh
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SOME INFOS : fairly standard (debian) init script.
#                 Note that node doesn't create a PID file (hence --make-pidfile)
#                 has to be run in the background (hence --background)
#                 and NOT as root (hence --chuid)
#

## Nodejs Instructions
The objective of this post is to get you from absolutely nothing, to a fully functional nodejs environment.
Software used: Ubuntu 11.10, Nodejs v0.6.12, Nginx, MongoDB, Redis, and NPM modules.

1. Download and install the latest version of Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download (don't select any extra items to install when prompted)
2. Once you are logged in and are at your Ubuntu command prompt, install the necessary software you will need:
  a. sudo apt-get install openssh-server
  b. sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
  c. sudo apt-get install git
  d. sudo apt-get install g++
  e. sudo apt-get install make

## jsonphandler.go
import (
  "io"
  "net/http"
)

//With HandlerFunc
func main () {
  http.Handle("/", JsonpHandler(http.HandlerFunc(func (w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    w.Write("Hello World")
  })))

## gulpfile.js
var gulp        = require('gulp'),
    gutil       = require('gulp-util'),
    stylus        = require('gulp-stylus'),
    uglify      = require('gulp-uglify'),
    jade        = require('gulp-jade'),
    concat      = require('gulp-concat'),
    livereload  = require('gulp-livereload'),
    tinylr      = require('tiny-lr'),
    express     = require('express'),
    app         = express(),

## gulpfile.js

  Install the plugins below, use -global or --save-dev either way will work.
    gulp, gulp-jade, gulp-concat, gulp-uglify, gulp-minify-css, gulp-stylus, gulp-obfuscate, gulp-connect

  Create the folders below inside your project folder:
    src, src/js, src/styl
