Registering your application with Google Cloud

Create a Google Cloud project

If you do not already have a Google Cloud project to access Google Analytics resources, you must create one to register a client application.

Take the following steps to create a Google Cloud project.

1. Go to Google Developer Console.
2. Navigate to Enabled APIs & services.
3. Create the project using one of the following methods:
   • If you have no projects, click CREATE PROJECT.
   • If you are in a project but want to create a new one, select the project you are in, and then click NEW PROJECT.
4. Specify the project name in the Project name field.
5. Specify the location in the Location field.
6. Click CREATE.

Results:

You have created a Google Cloud project. From within this project, you will register your client application and create OAuth credentials.

Register the application

Take the following steps to register an application to access the resources of a Google Cloud project.

1. From the Google Developer Console, navigate to the APIs & Services > OAuth Consent screen.
2. Select the User Type.
3. Click CREATE.
4. Complete the application registration forms.

   OAuth Consent Screen form

Create OAuth credentials

Take the following steps to create client ID and client secret OAuth credentials for your application.

1. From the Google Developer Console, navigate to the Credentials screen by clicking Credentials on the left.
2. Click CREATE CREDENTIALS and select OAuth client ID.
3. Select an application type, and enter the requested information.

4. Click CREATE.

   Step result: A dialog is displayed with the client ID and secret.

5. Save the application information to a secure location using one of the following methods:

   • Copy the client ID and secret, and save them to a secure location.
   Note: The values for the client ID and secret should be saved to a secure location. You will need to specify these values for the ClientID and ClientSecret connection options.
