Read the first 7 Automation & Scripting flashcards as text

  1. Which Google API lets a script pull GA4 report data such as sessions by channel on a schedule?

    Answer: Google Analytics Data API (runReport)

    The GA4 Data API's runReport method returns dimension and metric data programmatically.

  2. What does the GA4 Measurement Protocol require in order to accept server-side events?

    Answer: A measurement ID and an API secret

    Requests to the Measurement Protocol endpoint are authenticated with a measurement_id and api_secret.

  3. In Google Apps Script, what is the standard way to refresh a Sheets report automatically every morning?

    Answer: A time-driven trigger

    Time-driven triggers run a function on a schedule without user interaction.

  4. A script calling the GA4 Data API receives HTTP 429 errors. What is the best practice?

    Answer: Retry with exponential backoff and reduce request volume

    429 means quota exhaustion, so backing off and trimming requests avoids repeated failures.

  5. Which API would you use to programmatically create custom dimensions on a GA4 property?

    Answer: Google Analytics Admin API

    The Admin API manages configuration objects like custom dimensions, streams and links.

  6. A service account needs to read GA4 data through the API. What must be done?

    Answer: Add the service account email as a user on the GA4 property

    Service accounts need to be granted property access (e.g., Viewer) like any other user.

  7. Which Looker Studio feature automates sending a report to stakeholders weekly?

    Answer: Scheduled email delivery

    Looker Studio can schedule recurring PDF email deliveries of a report.
