Hey there! You know what, I’m really puzzled by this whole Google Analytics thing. So, I’m putting in an order, and it’s showing the item price in the data layer as, let’s say, 287.2. But then, when I hop over to the GA4 debugger, it’s displaying the price as if it’s shot through the roof – like 2872000000. It’s like my decimal just got swallowed… Read more

Even if you’ve excluded the ‘ip_override’, server-side GTM often sends the IP in a ‘_uip’ field. To be sure you’re not sending IPs to Google Analytics, you can add a custom JavaScript variable in GTM that returns an anonymized IP (like ‘0.0.0.0’) and use this variable for ‘ip_override’. Check your previews again to confirm whether the IP is still… Read more

Is it possible to use the same event tags in GTM for different instances of GA4? Can I have another GA4 for the same app just in a different environment? If I set up a new GA4 config tag, will GTM be able to send data to both GA4s correctly?

It looks like your Google Analytics API request is only fetching ten rows of data because you set the “limit” parameter to 10 in the request. If you’re trying to get a lot more rows, like the 35,000 you mentioned, you’ll want to increase that limit. Keep in mind, the API might have its own maximum limit that could be less than 35,000.

Hey, I’m wrestling with a bit of a numbers quandary here. So, there’s roughly 35k entries on the web UI that I download as a CSV file, right? But when I check the count, it’s showing me only 600 or so. Something’s off.

Anyway, here’s the code I’ve been using.

dimensions = ["sessionSource","customEvent:order_id","date","platform"]

Unfortunately, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) does not currently offer a way to directly retrieve the session ID through Google Tag Manager (GTM) variables. Generally, session IDs are handled behind the scenes in GA and not exposed for direct access. You might instead want to consider using User-ID feature, which allows you to associate interactions… Read more

Yeah, the doc is wrong when it comes to GA4. You can’t use ‘set’ to drop in ‘content_group’ with GA4 like you can with UA. Instead, ‘content_group’ needs to be set with ‘config’ call, like this:

`
gtag(‘config’, ‘G-nnnnn’, {‘content_group’: ‘ZZZ’});
`

Or you can do it with individual events:

`
gtag(‘event’, ‘event_name’, {
‘content_group’:… Read more

Sure thing, Google itself doesn’t provide a straightforward tool to pull your historical GA4 data into BigQuery. So your idea of writing a Python script to do the job sounds like a good plan of action. And don’t worry, it’s not going to be overly complex. Happy coding!
