Question

The analytics api allows you get events and total events across the profile, but I can’t work out how to get the total events of a particular event. For example:

1. Event 1 has 10 total events and 3
   unique events.
2. Event 2 has 5 total events and 5
   unique events.

If I use ga:totalEvents, it will return 15 and ga:uniqueEvents will return 8. How can I filter it down to category (ie title… Event 1, Event 2 are “Categories”).

Answer 1

You need to add the ga:eventAction and/or ga:eventCategory dimensions to the request. This will give you a breakdown of the ga:totalEvents and ga:uniqueEvents metrics for each action and category.
