Get Particular Page view count in Google analytics using PHP

Question

I have following code and its working fine.

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$analytics = initializeAnalytics();
$response = getReport($analytics);

printResults($response);

function initializeAnalytics()
{

  $KEY_FILE_LOCATION = __DIR__ . '/Student-a2aeba87a13b.json';


  $client = new Google_Client();
  $client->setApplicationName("Hello Analytics Reporting");
  $client->setAuthConfig($KEY_FILE_LOCATION);
  $client->setScopes(['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly']);
  $analytics = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting($client);

  return $analytics;
}

function getReport($analytics) {


  $VIEW_ID = "107034574";


  $dateRange = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_DateRange();
  $dateRange->setStartDate("30daysAgo");
  $dateRange->setEndDate("today");


  $sessions = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_Metric();

 $sessions->setExpression("ga:pageviews");
  $sessions->setAlias("hits");
  echo "<pre>";

  $browser = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_Dimension();
$browser->setName("ga:pagePathLevel1");
  $request = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_ReportRequest();


  $request->setViewId($VIEW_ID);
  $request->setDateRanges($dateRange);

 $request->setMetrics(array($sessions));

  //Create the Dimensions object.

  /* $sessions->setExpression("ga:users"); --get total users
  /$browser->setName("ga:userType");
  $sessions->setExpression("ga:percentNewSessions"); ---new user session percentage
  *  $sessions->setExpression("ga:newUsers");
  $sessions->setExpression("ga:sessions");
  $sessions->setExpression("ga:bounceRate");--bounce tare
  $sessions->setExpression("ga:pageviews"); //total page view
  $sessions->setExpression("ga:visits");
  *
  */


  $body = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_GetReportsRequest();
  $body->setReportRequests( array( $request) );
   echo "<pre>";
//  print_r($body);
  return $analytics->reports->batchGet( $body );
}

function printResults($reports) {
  for ( $reportIndex = 0; $reportIndex < count( $reports ); $reportIndex++ ) {
    $report = $reports[ $reportIndex ];
    $header = $report->getColumnHeader();
    $dimensionHeaders = $header->getDimensions();
    $metricHeaders = $header->getMetricHeader()->getMetricHeaderEntries();
    $rows = $report->getData()->getRows();
echo "<pre>";
 // print_r($rows);
    for ( $rowIndex = 0; $rowIndex < count($rows); $rowIndex++) {
      $row = $rows[ $rowIndex ];
      $dimensions = $row->getDimensions();
      $metrics = $row->getMetrics();
      for ($i = 0; $i < count($dimensionHeaders) && $i < count($dimensions); $i++) {
        print($dimensionHeaders[$i] . ": " . $dimensions[$i] . "\n");
      }

      for ($j = 0; $j < count( $metricHeaders ) && $j < count( $metrics ); $j++) {
        $entry = $metricHeaders[$j];
        $values = $metrics[$j];
        print("Metric type: " . $entry->getType() . "\n" );
        for ( $valueIndex = 0; $valueIndex < count( $values->getValues() ); $valueIndex++ ) {
          $value = $values->getValues()[ $valueIndex ];
          print($entry->getName() . ": " . $value . "\n");
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Now i am getting all page count and unique page count.Now my problem is i need to get particular page view count for example login page signup page etc.Can any one help me how to get particular page count.Thanks

In order to get data for each page path you will need to add ga:pagePath as a dimension. i.e.

$pagePath = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_Dimension();
$pagePath->setName("ga:browser");

// Later on

$request->setDimensions(array($pagePath));

You can also filter your data by dimension so you only see results that fit a criteria. For example, only show data for your signup page by adding the filter as follows:

// Create the DimensionFilter.
$dimensionFilter = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_DimensionFilter();
$dimensionFilter->setDimensionName('ga:pagePath');
$dimensionFilter->setOperator('EXACT');
$dimensionFilter->setExpressions(array('/signup'));

// Create the DimensionFilterClauses
$dimensionFilterClause = new Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_DimensionFilterClause();
$dimensionFilterClause->setFilters(array($dimensionFilter));

//Later on

$request->setDimensionFilterClauses(array($dimensionFilterClause));
