**NOTE:** This repository is part of [Google Cloud PHP](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php). Any
support requests, bug reports, or development contributions should be directed to
that project.
### Installation
To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
Now to install just this component:
```sh
$ composer require google/analytics-data
```
Or to install the entire suite of components at once:
```sh
$ composer require google/cloud
```
This component supports both REST over HTTP/1.1 and gRPC. In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by gRPC (such as streaming methods)
please see our [gRPC installation guide](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc).
### Authentication
Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/master/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information
on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests.
### Sample
```php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Google\Analytics\Data\V1beta\BetaAnalyticsDataClient;
$client = new BetaAnalyticsDataClient();
$response = $client->runReport([
'property' => 'properties/[YOUR_PROPERTY_ID]'
]);
foreach ($response->getRows() as $row) {
foreach ($row->getDimensionValues() as $dimensionValue) {
print 'Dimension Value: ' . $dimensionValue->getValue() . PHP_EOL;
}
}
```
### Version
This component is considered beta. As such, it should be expected to be mostly
stable and we're working towards a release candidate. We will address issues
and requests with a higher priority.
### Next Steps
1. Understand the [official documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1).
