Google
launched the beta of their real-time Google Analytics API today. This
new API will allows computer programers and developers to view the
analytics of their sites performance in real-time. This feature is
already available for Google Analytics, but the real-time data is not
completely accurate. Now when you access the Google Analytics Real-Time API, you will remain invite-only and outside of Google’s SLA for a period of time.
This new API allows you to make queries of your real-time data and use the information to your advantage. For instance, if you want to track a specific page or link you can put a counter on that item. You can also build an app that will show the number of visitors on your site on a Pebble watch.
The Google Analytics Real-Time API gives clarity on where traffic is coming from to it’s exact source. If you see your site is being searched by Pinterest.com, you can add a “Pin It” button to your page. The Google Analytics Real-Time data has been running for two years now. There has always been a lag, this new improved API will make real-time seem more like real-time.
