    Alright, lets break this down. You wanna connect to the GA4 API using a Gmail account, right? Sadly, that’s a no-go, mate. Google nipped this in the bud back in 2015. To get your mitts on private user data, you gotta use something called oauth2 which needs the user’s OK.

    Also, no go on not using a specific client key. Oauth2 needs your app to be registered and approved by Google to access private user data. When you’re asking for authorization, you’ll need your client id and client secret.

    As far as learning more, you could look into the Google Analytics Data v1 API. Hope this breaks things down for you a bit, good luck with the website!
