At my org we have some legacy software that uses the google analytics api. As you may be aware, that api has been discontinued for some reason. This application is going to nearly impossible to port to the new api.

There is no way to bring back the old api so we are looking at a few weeks of parcial downtime. I only took me a few weeks to figure that out.

Google cloud console is one of the most confusing websites I have ever seen. Each function is a separate page that has 300 menus and drop downs that take you to seperate pages. You want to see api permissions? Api permission manager. You want to see analytics? Analytics manager. You want to turn on a new api? Separate page.

Why!

My GF is an analyst and she was showing me all of the ways the new API is going to piss off her firm’s clients with all of the changes. I won’t pretend to understand it. Excessive rounding making it difficult to get the resolution some clients expect? Something about midnight causing duplicate counts… there was a lot. Mainly it seemed like issue would be the major corpos being mad at the firm because the reporting can’t be exactly the same as it was before.
