If you have a Google Analytics account, you can use the Data Export API provided by Google to access your visitor stats, and retrieve them for use elsewhere. Here’s how to display some stats in ASP.NET.

When I first put this site together, it was in a bit of a rush. I decided to keep a count of the number of visits for each article, but did it very simply. All I did was increment a database field called Views by one each time a page was requested. Consequently, the only metric I get is all-time page views. I wondered how I would be able to get the number of page views within the last 7 or 30 days, and it crossed my mind to redesign the database, and the code to track all this. Then I came across the Google AnalyticsData Export API, which provides access to Google Analytics accounts. I have been using Google for my web stats since day one, so I set to work.

Using the API is not that difficult. It’s a 3 stage process:

1. Log in via an HTP POST request and obtain an authorisation key
2. Query the stats via an HTTP GET request (passing the key as a header) and obtain a data feed
3. Parse the feed for display

Digging around in the API reference, we see that the core to getting the right data is querying for the correct combination of Dimensions and Metrics. We also see that feeds are returned as XML. The reference site also provides a Query Explorer, with which you can test a few queries, and see how the urls for feed requests are constructed.

I could simply write some procedural code that runs from top to bottom to get the job done quickly, which is what I initially did. However, heavily inspired by Jacob Reimar’s most excellent Google Analytics Reader, I decided to build something more extensible so that I can add other reports more easily if required in the future.

I am going to start off with a couple of helper methods. One will make HTTP POST requests and the other will perform the same task using HTTP GET requests:

public static string HttpPostRequest(string url, string post)
{
var encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(post);
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = “POST”;
request.ContentType = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”;
request.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream();
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
stream.Close();
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
String result;
using (var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
return result;
}

public static string HttpGetRequest(string url, string[] headers)
{
String result;
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
if (headers.Length > 0)
{
foreach (var header in headers)
{
request.Headers.Add(header);
}
}
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
using (var sr = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
return result;
}

Since the concept of outsourcing changed the economy of many countries it has been very clear that paying Indian development service providers is very much economical than funding an in-house private team. Analysis says that more than 50% of the cost can be saved by inking contracts with Indian IT service providers.
There is countless number of organizations that render development and programming services to offshore companies. These organizations hire developers and programmers from various fields and sell their services to their foreign clients. Some of the most commonly asked for developers/programmers are hire php developers and hire asp.net developers. Companies hire talented and experienced developers and asp.net programmers in order to conceive the best result to their clients.
Extending this concept and understanding the client whose work is been done in an entirely different part of the world, organizations allow clients to interview the programmers and developers over high speed VOIP connections and also through video conferencing to monitor their work and convey the exact requirement.
In India especially hire php developers and hire php programmers and hire asp.net developers and asp.net programmers never go unemployed. Such offshore development service providing companies are always in need for talented and experienced people in this field.
Such an infrastructure helps the client to avoid unnecessary establishment and development costs and the fact that Indian working environment is much cheaper in comparison to other countries helps a lot.
Such development service providers also have in-house experts team who are equipped with communication software’s like instant yahoo messenger and skype to have an uninterrupted  link with the client. It helps the cause if the developers and the programmers have a constant and good quality communication with the client. It produces better and efficient result without consuming much of the time.
Every client has different requirements and the organizations provide them with developers and programmers from a pool of experts precisely customized according to the requirement of the client. They form a development team consisting of senior and junior developers and programmers.
At Experts from India we hire high quality employees (hire php developers, hire asp.net developers, hire php programmers, asp.net programmers etc) to provide our clients with the best possible resources available. The clients can also have regular meeting with the team through daily logs, project management system and reports etc. This not only makes the client satiable but also helps the team to perform better and channelize their efforts precisely towards what is needed.
