Get data from Google Analytics on legacy sites

Link – Jun 2nd 2015

Nearly all greenfield projects at Spatie are built with Laravel. A few months ago I made laravel-analytics, a package to fetch data from Google Analytics.

Spatie exists for more than ten years so there are quite a few legacy projects as well. In those projects there is also a need to display some analytics data in the admin-section. Recently Google retired some of their older API's. Unfortunately our old solution to fetch GA data stopped working.

To resolve this problem my colleague Sebastian created a framework agnostic version of laravel-analytics that works with PHP 5.3. If you also have a legacy project that needs some data from Analytics, you can install the package via composer.
