The “request invalid” error could be due to a variety of reasons. Without looking at the actual code and only the gem you’re using, it’s hard to tell exactly. However, here are a few possibilities:
1) There might be an issue with how you’re setting up the authorization. Make sure you’re following Google’s guidelines for authorization when setting up your request.
2) Check your custom user fields and custom events. There could be an error in how you’ve set them up or in the data they’re outputting, which then could be causing the entire request to fail.
3) You might be using a deprecated or incorrect endpoint in your API request. Check the the Google Analytics Data API documentation to ensure you’re making requests to the correct endpoint.
4) When you’re creating your job to fetch data, be sure you’re handling exceptions and errors correctly, this way if something goes wrong with the request, your entire job doesn’t fail. Also make sure the job isn’t causing the request to time out.
Finally, I would recommend reaching out to the community of developers who use this gem. They might be able to provide more specific insights. If the ‘google-apis-analyticsdata_v1beta’ gem’s documentation isn’t helping, there’s a chance that someone else already has stumbled upon the same issue.
