google analytics api in php website

Hi, I am creating a custom reporting website, where I want to show live data from google analytics and accordingly the data in my website will change. I want it to be automated and dynamic, like whenever the data changes in GA, i want it to be automatically changed in our website, which will be shown to our clients to show the performance of our websites.

I am guessing this can be achieved by some api calling from php, xml returned values and showing those data on our website along with images.

i would appreciate if anyone could give me more info on how to start working on this.

Google Analytics has an official API. They don't seem to have ready-made PHP examples, but the XML sources should be easy to query. Not sure how "live" GA's data is, though - it could be that it is not possible to do stuff live tracking of visitors.

GA has a 24 hour delay on data

Thanks for the info. I have seen other classes in php like GAPI. I wanted to know if there is anything better than that?Also if I am using the official API, will i be able to get images or only values of the data?

24 hour dealy is as good as LIVE. Not much problem with that though.

24 hour delay is as good as LIVE? LMAO. I do a lot of tracking code implementation and QA and let me tell you, 24 hour delay on finding out whether something works or trying to QA really f'in sucks.

So according to your situation it wont work well..but for my situation, YES it is as good as LIVE.
