How to get data from Google Analytics 4 using C#

Question

Hi,

I am developing a program in C# to get data from Google Analytics 4. I am not an expert in C#. I have the following code. But getting the following error.

CS7036: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'property' of 'Properties.RunReport(RunReportRequest, string)'

I tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help?

using Google.Apis.AnalyticsData.v1beta;
using Google.Apis.AnalyticsData.v1beta.Data;
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Services;
using System;

namespace ConsoleApp4
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            // Google Analytics 4 property ID.
            string propertyId = "123456789";

            // Credential Path
            string credentialsPath = @"D:\\Google Analytics\GoogleAnalytics4.json";


            // Authenticate and create the service.
            GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential.FromFile(credentialsPath);
            AnalyticsDataService service = new AnalyticsDataService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
            {
                HttpClientInitializer = credential,
                ApplicationName = "Google Analytics 4",
            });

            // Construct the request.
            RunReportRequest request = new RunReportRequest()
            {

                Property = $"properties/{propertyId}",

                DateRanges =
                {
                    new DateRange()
                    {
                        StartDate = "2023-05-15",
                        EndDate = "2023-05-15"
                    }
                },
               
                Dimensions =
                {
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "date"
                    },
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "landingPagePlusQueryString"
                    },
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "medium"
                    },
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "orderCoupon"
                    },
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "sourceMedium"
                    },
                    new Dimension()
                    {
                        Name = "transactionId"
                    }
                },
             
                Metrics =
                {
                    new Metric()
                    {
                        Name = "sessions"
                    },
                    new Metric()
                    {
                        Name = "totalRevenue"
                    }
                }
                
            };

            // Execute request.
            RunReportResponse response = service.Properties.RunReport(request).Execute();

            // Print the results.
            Console.WriteLine("Report result:");
            foreach (Row row in response.Rows)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", row.DimensionValues[0].Value, row.MetricValues[0].Value);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Thanks.

Hi @Robin , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

This error is caused because you are missing a parameter.

service.Properties.RunReport requires two parameters.

RunReportResponse response = service.Properties.RunReport(request,propertyId).Execute();
