example Go code showing how to download reporting data from Google Analytics using the Core Reporting API, a Google service account + oauth2 (UPDATE: go here http://code.rickt.org/post/142445693275/updated-golang-code-to-query-ga-data-via-the instead)

analyticsdumper.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"golang.org/x/oauth2"
	"golang.org/x/oauth2/jwt"

	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
	"time"

// constants
const (
	datelayout string = "2006-01-02" // date format that Core Reporting API requires
)

// globals that you DON'T need to change
var (
	enddate   string = time.Now().Format(datelayout)                          // set end query date to today
	startdate string = time.Now().Add(time.Hour * 24 * -1).Format(datelayout) // set start query date to yesterday
	metric    string = "ga:pageviews"                                         // GA metric that we want
	tokenurl  string = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"           // (json:"token_uri") Google oauth2 Token URL

// globals that you DO need to change

// populate these with values from the JSON secretsfile obtained from the Google Cloud Console specific to your app)
