Retrieving the reports from my Google Analytics account

What's the easiest way to get the report data from Google Analytics specifically from eCommerce section? I found a few gems such as google-api-client, gabba, gattica and levato. But which one is de-facto and easier to use isn't clear.

Or if not to use a gem, what API end points should I use? From Google documentation it isn't clear either.

Any help is appreciated.

You're going to want to use the Core Reporting API to get that report data, and you're going to want to specifically use ecommerce dimensions and metrics when making the request(s).

To get a sense for what types of data you can get and what parameters you need to use to get that data, I suggest playing around with the Query Explorer. Once you understand what you're after, making the requests shouldn't be too much trouble.

I don't know of a gem that does this off hand, but honestly, you don't need one. Maybe find a gem hand handles OAuth2 for you, but after that making the requests is pretty straight-forward.
