Use Google Analytics with API built with laravel.

I also need this. following.

Snap, I'd like to see how to integrate Analytics into a site/admin system

Actually just came across this, not sure it's the right thing you want, but may be a starting point. http://www.sitepoint.com/using-google-analytics-api-php-logging/ , plus he gives open source code on GitHub here > https://github.com/sitepoint-examples/laravel_google_analytics

That's the other way around by using the Google API :P

They want to track activity on their own API using GA

I find these packages useful : https://github.com/spatie/laravel-analytics https://github.com/thomaswelton/laravel-google-analytics

There are various packages for sending analytics to GA using the measurement protocol, e.g. https://github.com/irazasyed/laravel-gamp - a wrapper for https://github.com/theiconic/php-ga-measurement-protocol

Check out the async option too, on this one. You don't want your API users waiting for Google! If you use GA on your web views, it is all done async in JavaScript. Once you start doing this in your API backend, you need to consider the performance hit.

Another alternative might be too look at https://piwik.org/

But sounds like you want to build some kind of front end for the analytics too. For one of my projects I just created a table and middleware to log client_id, end point, ip address etc for each call on api. This allows for some basic analytics and management of api.
