CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
The customer grants the service account access to the Analytics property and selects its role. Google Cloud credentials identify the client; property authorization remains a separate requirement.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
runReport returns selected dimensions, metrics and date ranges with offset/limit pagination. Compatibility, thresholding and aggregation rules constrain the returned report. Dimension and metric filters, date ranges and ordering support external report queries. The endpoint is not SQL over raw events.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Customer-authorized application | service account | Customer | No | customer authorization | 2026-10-16 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Standard and Analytics 360 property quotas differ. The reviewed sources do not establish a complete minimum-plan and fixed-fee schedule for the assessed reporting portfolio.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
runReport reads analytics reports and does not mutate captured events or property configuration. Other GA4 write APIs are outside this declared route.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Requery selected date windows to refresh report snapshots as processing and attribution settle. This route supplies neither event-level deletion tombstones nor a native CDC subscription. Standard Core quotas include 200,000 tokens/property/day, 40,000/hour and 14,000/project/property/hour, plus 10 concurrent requests. returnPropertyQuota exposes consumption; complexity changes token cost.

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Reports can be exported as CSV or read as structured API rows. These are selected aggregate fields; raw events, identifiers, privacy-filtered rows and full property configuration are outside the migration claim.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Customers can implement external logic against the assessed API. Ownership and reusable export of native workflow artifacts remain unresolved (customer integration code does not establish those rights).
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
