UPDATE: Here is a video guide specially made for Analytify WordPress Plugin users.
Following are the simple steps which can help you to get your Client ID, Client Secret and Developer API Key for your Web Apps or WordPress plugins from Google Developers Console. I wrote this tutorial for Analytify users but It can be beneficial for everyone.
- You need to create a Project in Google Developer Console. Click here to go to Console page. It will ask you to login with your Google Account if you are not logged in already. If you have created Projects in Google Developers Console before you will see the list of already created projects. If not, below screen will appear.
Start – Create Project in Google Developers Console - In both scenarios, Click on ‘Create Project' button.
- A popup will appear, where you will enter ‘Project Name' and ‘Project ID' which will help you to recognize your project in the console.
Enter Project Name – Google Developers Console - By clicking on Create button, Your project will be created and redirects you to your projects list in Console.
- Clicking on the project name which you have recently created will take you to your Project Dashboard.
- See left side navigation menu. Go to Overview, here you can see the list of popular Google APIs. Select ‘Analytics API' and Enable it.
Enable Analytics API in Google Developers Console - Next, Go to Credentials -> OAuth Consent Screen, Check your Email address and Enter your Product name “Analytify Project” and Save it.
Enter Product Name – Google Developers Console - Go to Credentials tab. Click on OAuth 2.0 Client ID at the dropdown like below.
Get OAuth 2.0 Client ID – Google Developers Console - You will select your Application Type ‘Web Application' and Add the Redirect URI. Redirect URI should be same of your application installation URL. For Analytify WordPress plugin, It should be the settings page URL like in the screenshot below.
Application Type and Redirect URIs – GoogleDevelopers Console - Click on Create button. It will start creating Keys. You will see a popup containing Client ID and Client Secret. Copy that and paste it in Plugin.
Get your Client ID and Client Secret – Google Developers Console. - Now, you need to get Public API Key. Click on API key at the dropdown like below.
Create Public API Key – Google Developers Console - Click the Browser Key and press ‘Create‘ button.
Select Browser Key – Google Developers Console - If you have done all the above steps correctly, the popup will open and you should see you API key.
Get your API keys – Google Developers Console.
Not working! Every time I click ‘Authenticate’, I am taken to http://ideas2live4.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=analytify-settings
I am asked to enter my API keys BUT there is nowhere to enter those keys! I’ve been going around in circles for 30 minutes. What am I doing wrong???
Hey, you are Premium Customer right ??
You don’t need to enter Keys. Just authenticate and paste the Access code and it should work.
Check this video for Premium customers.
Hi,
I just installed the plugin and it looks really great. But I miss the click route people have. Where can I see on a page where people came from and what page they went to after this particular page or post? I can’t find it in the overview.
Thanks for your reply in advance.
You should update this tutorial. Google has changed its layout and your instructions do not reflect the actual page.
I am getting a 401 error when requesting “Get your access code”.
Hey @Caio
Yes, I saw that and have update this tutorial. Let me know If it helps ?
I am still getting this 401 message! What am I doing wrong?

gdata sends me error now. As a solve of this problem i wanted to go for API3 but it tells me to use
CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE = “client_secrets.json”
What is it? A once more new KEY? Or I cen gen it from

“client_secrets.json” file actually contains the Keys. You will generate this file from the developers console.
