Changing your tracking ID from UA (Google Analytics) to GA4 (Google Analytics 4) in your Python script will not automatically make your data appear in your new GA4 dashboard. This is because GA4 uses a completely different measurement model compared to the previous versions of Google Analytics. GA4 is event-based and does not use the same tracking codes as before, so the data cannot be transferred just by changing the tracking ID. You will have to update your Python script to use the new GA4 Measurement Protocol, which might require some changes to the way you capture and send the data. It’s also worth noting that GA4’s Measurement Protocol is currently in beta, so some features might not work as expected. You could also experience some delays in the data appearing in your GA4 dashboard. Therefore, it’s recommended to run your UA and GA4 properties in parallel during the transition phase.
