Does anyone know of a project or set of scripts that attempts to bring Google Analytics data to the command line? What I dream about is a "top" like application that lets me monitor Google Analytics real-time data without a web browser.

Thanks!

  • Probably not. The only API for accessing that data is in limited beta (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/v3/). – ceejayoz Mar 18 '14 at 21:33

GoAccess tool is not 'Google Analytics' based, but it is an open source real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in CLI like 'top' and handles a lot of web log formats.

  • That is really cool and I will try it on my testing server. However, I am interested in something I can run on my "local" machine without taking any server resources. That's why I was thinking of an implementation of the Google Analytics Real-time Panel just in CLI form. – user2475479 Mar 18 '14 at 21:58

    you can run it from your local machine: `ssh root@server 'cat /var/log/apache2/access.log' | goaccess -a --no-progress` – Kayla Jul 31 '14 at 13:01
