Using google analytics API - The 'Getting Started' tutorial

Question

So I'm all new to using Google API's, so bear with me :)

I've started with the tutorial for getting started with google embed analytics API, at this link: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/embed/v1/getting-started

Just for notice, I'm working in PHP.

By following the tutorial, I've made it possible to sign in to the google account, and my page displays the logged in google account, and displays 3 dropdown menus, 1 for 'account', 1 for 'property' and 1 for 'view'.

Now when I look at the tutorial site, you have the option to select entities from these drop downs, and furthermore theres a graph displayed below.

However, In my case, I have my logged in account displayed, but my 3 drop down menus are empty, meaning I cant select anything(In the tutorial a 'store' is selected), and furthermore, I have no graph/chart displayed below.

My app looks like this:

I'm guessing that I need to set these things up in my google dashboard somehow, but I'm not sure as to how I should go about this? If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

Answer 1

Eike was completely correct - I needed to setup a GA account, and register a website. GA had some info that I followed, which included putting a certain script on my website, to allow tracking of my site.

I Now have a working implementation, so thanks to Eike! :)
