    <p>I'm working on converting a Python script using the Google gdata API client + user/pass authentication to something more suitable for production (an API key). I am pretty frustrated with the muddled state of their documentation on authentication. I admittedly don't have a great grasp of OAuth2, but it seems like it's way more complicated for my usage case, which is: Hit Google Analytics every 24 hours to get the X most popular articles on our site.</p> <p>In this scenario, we're not dealing with modifying someone's personal data, and all activity is centered on one account. It doesn't seem like OAuth2 is worth the complexity for something so simple.</p> <p>I see that on the Google API Console (https://code.google.com/apis/console/), I've registered there and notice that there's a "Simple API Access" section with one key beneath the "Client ID for web applications" (which appears to be OAuth2). There's also the Google domain update page, <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdateDomain">https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdateDomain</a>, but that appears to be OAuth related.</p> <p>Is there any way to use this Simple API Access key (not OAuth) for retrieving analytics data with the Python gdata client, and if so, does anyone have any authentication examples? I already have the data retrieval stuff working once authenticated, but I'm using the user/pass approach, which is not appropriate for production.</p>

    1. COI agree this is really frustrating, I'm in the same boat now. The use case of OAuth2 doesn't really make sense if you are only using your own data and don't need to authenticate with user accounts. So I'm confused as well on why they are moving lots of apis over. From what I understand OAuth1 works without this idea of a callback url? I would prefer to use the simple api key as well, but it's unclear if this has been deprecated and on which api's. Lets hope google gets this fixed soon!

    2. COIt has been 6 months since this question, anyone found an answer? I just asked 2 very similar questions here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8263776/how-to-use-oauth-with-google-calendar-to-access-only-one-calendar and here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8270994/how-do-i-use-googles-simple-api-access-key-to-access-google-calendar-info-ph and my issue is the same : I don't need to access someone else calendar, I need to access only ONE. So the Developper Key should be the way to go but I can't find ANY tutorials onlines or examples. Can someone help?

    3. COI have also tried the simple https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/accounts/XXXXX/webproperties/UA-XXXXX-1/profiles?pp=1&key={YOUR-KEY-HERE} with zero success. I think you need OAuth even if it's your own data =( . I would love to see a solution to this question

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
