Google Analytics v4 supports to query the reports like "User Explorer". I can query the list of userid in custom dimension. My request is:

{"reportRequests": [
          {
            "viewId": "xxxx",
            "includeEmptyRows": true,
            "dateRanges": [
              {
                "startDate": "2daysAgo",
                "endDate": "today"
              }
            ],
            "metrics": [
              {
                "expression": "ga:sessions"
              },
              {
                "expression": "ga:avgSessionDuration"
              }
            ],
              "dimensions": [
                {
                  "name": "ga:dimension1"
                }
              ]

          }
        ]
}

I got the successful result. But I would like to query the detail of each userId. Something likes one individual Userid in a custom dimension same as "User Report" in Google Analytics. I googled around but did not have any luck. For example in here:

Query Google Analytics by User ID

https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/

I'm not sure that is there any support for the query individual userId like: "filtersExpression": "ga:userId==abc"

Any recommendation is really appreciated.

Thanks

If you are using free version of GA querying by user id won't be possible unless you use custom dimension to store user id yourself.

  • Hi. I'm using custom dimension already. As you can see in my question, I can query a list of UserIds in custom dimension. The issue is, I'd like to query for one userId to get the whole detail of it. Any suggestion for that?! – Kenny Tai Huynh Mar 10 '17 at 22:03

You need to filter out from the custom dimension. try this ga:dimension1==abc

  • Have you tried to call this in GA request?! do you mean you can do sth like this in your request?! "dimensions": [ { "name":"ga:dimension1==abc" } – Kenny Tai Huynh May 18 '17 at 17:25
  • @KennyTaiHuynh late reply but as zenab suggested you can supply a (custom) dimension value as filter, see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#filters Not sure why his answer was downvoted; should work. – Arthur Mar 13 '19 at 12:27

try to pass custom dimension like
"dimensions": [{ "name": "customUser:user_id_dimensions" }

here user_id_dimensions is custom dimension name.
