Google analytics API: what is the difference between a 'service application' and an 'installed application'
In the Google Analytics API documentation you can view the API in Python for a 'Service application' and an 'Installed application'. What is the difference between these two? The option for Python for a 'Web application' is not available... why is this?
Thank you very much for any help!

service application https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2#serviceaccount. installed application https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2#installed.
basically it's saying service application is server to server communication and installed application is your mobile/web apps making request to GA through oauth.
