Article summary

The amount of data that the Google Analytics returns is massive, we can not provide a full data dictionary. For details on the data, see the Google Analytics API documents.

Note:

Google occasionally adds new dimensions. Your earliest data may predate some dimensions. For example, Google introduced the ga:dateHourMinute dimension in 2017. If your data goes back to 2012 and you select the "As much as possible" date range option, Panoply can only collect data for the ga:dateHourMinute dimension since the day Google added that dimension in 2017.
