Google Analytics (v1) integration leaving open beta
Our integration has left open beta and is now generally available! Check out the docs for more info.
Google Analytics (v1) integrations: Use accountSummaries: list to fetch profiles
integrations will now use accountSummaries to fetch profiles available for the user authorizing the integration. We’ve made this change to reduce the number of queries Stitch makes to and overall API quota usage.

We’ve improved the retry logic for to make retries less aggressive, ideally reduceing the consumption of daily API quotas.
Google Analytics (v1) integrations: Non-retryable error messages now in Extraction Logs
Error messages from HTTP 4xx codes that aren’t retryable will now include details from detailing what the issue is. Previously, these messages weren’t included in Extraction Logs, leading to confusion about the issue causing the error.
Google Analytics (v1) update: Improved handling of retryable errors
We’ve updated the retry logic for our integration to include HTTP codes 403 and 429. In the event that Stitch receives these responses from , the integration will exponentially back off and retry.
Google Analytics (v1) update: Improved parsing of datetimes
Previously, fields in the Time group could cause errors during Extraction, as they were returned from Google’s API using a non-ISO format.
These fields are now parsed as datetime and converted to ISO-8601 (UTC) during Extraction.
Google Analytics (v1) update: Remove searchKeyword as default Behavior Overview field
As searchKeyword isn’t data that collects by default, we’ve removed it from the default fields selected for replication for the Behavior Overview report. This field will still be available in Stitch, just not selected by default.

We’ve added a handful of pre-made reports to our our (v) integration:
