Laravel : Countries with Laravel Analytics - laravel

Question

I'm using Laravel Analytics to get data of the visitors of my application.
In my Google Analytics dashboard, every page have it own visits numbers, unique visitors, countries of visitors etc .. like in this image :
In my web.php, I'm creating a route to test the package :
Route::get('/data', function () {
$analyticsData = Analytics::fetchMostVisitedPages(Period::days(7));
dd($analyticsData);
});
This route returns :
Illuminate\Support\Collection {#1564 ▼
#items: array:3 [▼
0 => array:3 [▼
"url" => "/new"
"pageTitle" => "test"
"pageViews" => 1534
]
1 => array:3 [▼
"url" => "/"
"pageTitle" => "test"
"pageViews" => 450
]
2 => array:3 [▼
"url" => "/customize/8"
"pageTitle" => "test"
"pageViews" => 196
]
As you can see the returned array have only url, pageTitle and pageViews. How can I add additional informations in the returned array such as countries or geographic localisation as shown in the first image ?

Answer 1

I've never used the package, but reading the docs, something like this will do.
The package docs state you can use any query you want, and the Google Analytics docs give an example of getting session by location.
public function myCustomMethod($maxResults = 20)
{
$response = $this->performQuery(
$period,
'ga:sessions', // metrics
[
'dimensions' => 'ga:country',
'sort' => '-ga:sessions',
'max-results' => $maxResults,
],
);
return collect($response['rows'] ?? [])->map(fn (array $pageRow) => [
// Do something with the rows that are returned.
// I'm not sure how they're returned from the main response.
]);
}
Note, this is completely untested, you might want to fiddle with some of the data here.
Assuming I understand the documentation, this will get all countries (dimensions), it will use sessions (ga:sessions from second parameter) to measure the countries data.
It'll then just sort and get a maximum number of results.
You could change the metrics to ga:pageviews, but it's ultimately down to you what queries you want to use.
I've linked the documentation so you can find them out yourself.

You're using spatie/laravel-analytics package.
As you can see here: spatie laravel analytics - Analytics.php the fetchMostVisitedPages method that you are calling only returns that data.
Please take a look in github to see more information about this package.
fetchMostVisitedPages method:
public function fetchMostVisitedPages(Period $period, int $maxResults = 20): Collection
{
$response = $this->performQuery(
$period,
'ga:pageviews',
[
'dimensions' => 'ga:pagePath,ga:pageTitle',
'sort' => '-ga:pageviews',
'max-results' => $maxResults,
],
);
return collect($response['rows'] ?? [])->map(fn (array $pageRow) => [
'url' => $pageRow[0],
'pageTitle' => $pageRow[1],
'pageViews' => (int) $pageRow[2],
]);
}
