Google Analytics get daily data from last 30 days

I'm trying to create a report showing daily conversions from the last 30 days with google analytics data api. This is using the dotnet client library Google.Analytics.Data.V1Beta.
However I'm only getting back about 5 conversion values, the last value seems to be reflecting total conversions of all time, ideally I'd like a running update of how many conversions per day so I can plot it to a line chart.
I'm planning to change this to weekly over the course of the past X months once I have the previous issue sorted out.
I'm essentially trying to recreate the chart on the google analytics dashboard:
What am I missing?
public async Task<RunReportResponse> RunReport(string propertyId = "xxxx")
{
BetaAnalyticsDataClient client = BetaAnalyticsDataClient.Create();
FilterExpression hostnameFilter = new();
hostnameFilter.Filter = new();
hostnameFilter.Filter.InListFilter = new();
hostnameFilter.Filter.InListFilter.Values.Add("xxxx");
hostnameFilter.Filter.FieldName = "hostName";
CohortSpec cohort = new();
cohort.Cohorts.Add(new Cohort
{
Dimension = "firstSessionDate",
DateRange = new DateRange()
{
StartDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
EndDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
},
});
cohort.CohortsRange = new CohortsRange
{
EndOffset = 5,
Granularity = CohortsRange.Types.Granularity.Daily
};
// Initialize request argument(s)
RunReportRequest request = new()
{
Property = "properties/" + propertyId,
Dimensions = {new Dimension { Name = "cohort" }, new Dimension { Name = "cohortNthDay" } },
Metrics = { new Metric { Name = "conversions" }, },
DimensionFilter = hostnameFilter,
CohortSpec = cohort,
};
// Make the request
var response = await client.RunReportAsync(request);
return response;
}
}

Is Universal Analytics C# SDK compatible with GA4?

I am using Google.Apis.AnalyticsReporting.v4 library for old google analytics views. How do I convert this code to GA4? I can't find a line about switching View Id to something else in code.
I have checked this post "How do I get view id in GA4", but my properties already exist and I don't see option to modify them after creation.
using (var svc = new AnalyticsReportingService(authInitializer.CreateInitializer()))
{
var dateRange = new DateRange
{
StartDate = analyticsParams.From.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
EndDate = analyticsParams.To.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
};
var sessions = new Metric
{
Expression = "ga:sessions",
Alias = "Sessions"
};
var date = new Dimension { Name = "ga:date" };
var reportRequest = new ReportRequest
{
DateRanges = new List<DateRange> { dateRange },
Dimensions = new List<Dimension> { date },
Metrics = new List<Metric> { sessions },
ViewId = analyticsParams.ViewId, // <------------------------- My view id
};
var getReportsRequest = new GetReportsRequest
{
ReportRequests = new List<ReportRequest> { reportRequest }
};
var batchRequest = svc.Reports.BatchGet(getReportsRequest);
var response = batchRequest.Execute();
var reports = response.Reports.First();
return reports.Data.Rows.Select(x => new DataEntry()
{
Date = DateTime.ParseExact(x.Dimensions[0], "yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
Value = int.Parse(x.Metrics[0].Values[0]),
}).ToList();
}

You need to use the Google Analytics Data API V1 (currently in alpha) in order to access your GA4 properties. Here is a quick start sample for .NET which seems similar to what you are trying to do.
using Google.Analytics.Data.V1Alpha;
using System;
namespace AnalyticsSamples
{
class QuickStart
{
static void SampleRunReport(string propertyId)
{
// Using a default constructor instructs the client to use the credentials
// specified in GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
AlphaAnalyticsDataClient client = AlphaAnalyticsDataClient.Create();
// Initialize request argument(s)
RunReportRequest request = new RunReportRequest
{
Entity = new Entity{ PropertyId = propertyId },
Dimensions = { new Dimension{ Name="city"}, },
Metrics = { new Metric{ Name="activeUsers"}, },
DateRanges = { new DateRange{ StartDate="2020-03-31", EndDate="today"}, },
};
// Make the request
RunReportResponse response = client.RunReport(request);
Console.WriteLine("Report result:");
foreach( Row row in response.Rows )
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", row.DimensionValues[0].Value, row.MetricValues[0].Value);
}
}
static int Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length == 0 || args.Length > 2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Arguments: <GA4 property ID>");
Console.WriteLine("A GA4 property id parameter is required to make a query to the Google Analytics Data API.");
return 1;
}
string propertyId = args[0];
SampleRunReport(propertyId);
return 0;
}
}
}

Currently there aren't API available for GA4 Property. Furthermore GA4 does not provide Views, you have to use BigQuery to get data programmatically.

Rally Api - How do I page GetByReference results

I've got some code that looks something like this.
var userStory = restApi.GetByReference (userStoryRef, "Name", "FormattedID");
for (int i = 0; i < (int) userStory["TotalResultCount"]; i++)
{
var name = userStory["Results"][i]["Name"];
...
Of course this fails if the GetByReference has more than 20 results (i.e. TotalResultCount > 20) since the default page size is 20.
So I need to page this but I can't work out how you set the page size, or request a second page from GetByReference.
I tried adding ?pagesize=100 to the reference but it doesn't appear to affect the result set.
e.g.
var userStory = restApi.GetByReference (userStoryRef + "?pagesize=100", "Name", "FormattedID");
I also tried giving up on this altogether and re-phrasing it as a query (which I do know how to page.)
e.g.
var request = new Request("HierarchicalRequirement")
{
Fetch = new List<string>()
{
"Name", "FormattedID"
}, Query = new Query("Parent.FormattedID", Query.Operator.Equals, featureId)
};
var result = myRestApi.Query(request);
But this query doesn't work for me either (featureId is a valid formatted id with associated User Stories). But that query returns no results.
(I appreciate that's a different question altogether - happy to get either working but understanding both would be fantastic!)
Grateful as ever for any help.

See code below. Notice storiesRequest.Limit = 1000 When this number is above default 20, it defaults to max 200, so there is no need to set storiesRequest.PageSize to 200
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Rally.RestApi;
using Rally.RestApi.Response;
using Rally.RestApi.Json;
namespace GetByRefExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
RallyRestApi restApi = new RallyRestApi(webServiceVersion: "v2.0");
String apiKey = "_abc123";
restApi.Authenticate(apiKey, "https://rally1.rallydev.com", allowSSO: false);
String workspaceRef = "/workspace/123";
String projectRef = "/project/456";
Request request = new Request("PortfolioItem/Feature");
request.Fetch = new List<string>() { "Name", "FormattedID" };
request.Query = new Query("FormattedID", Query.Operator.Equals, "F2356");
QueryResult result = restApi.Query(request);
String featureRef = result.Results.First()._ref;
Console.WriteLine("found" + featureRef);
//create stories
try
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 25; i++)
{
DynamicJsonObject story = new DynamicJsonObject();
story["Name"] = "story " + i;
story["PlanEstimate"] = new Random().Next(2,10);
story["PortfolioItem"] = featureRef;
story["Project"] = projectRef;
CreateResult createResult = restApi.Create(workspaceRef, "HierarchicalRequirement", story);
story = restApi.GetByReference(createResult.Reference, "FormattedID");
Console.WriteLine("creating..." + story["FormattedID"]);
}
//read stories
DynamicJsonObject feature = restApi.GetByReference(featureRef, "UserStories");
Request storiesRequest = new Request(feature["UserStories"]);
storiesRequest.Fetch = new List<string>()
{
"FormattedID",
"PlanEstimate"
};
storiesRequest.Limit = 1000;
QueryResult storiesResult = restApi.Query(storiesRequest);
int storyCount = 0;
foreach (var userStory in storiesResult.Results)
{
Console.WriteLine(userStory["FormattedID"] + " " + userStory["PlanEstimate"]);
storyCount++;
}
Console.WriteLine(storyCount);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
}
}
}

How do I use AWS SDK for .Net to create an image to an instance I have? (AMI)

I have an Amazon EC2 instance and I need to be able to create an AMI (image) from it programmatically. I'm trying the following:
CreateImageRequest rq = new CreateImageRequest();
rq.InstanceId = myInstanceID;
rq.Name = instance.KeyName;
rq.Description = "stam";
rq.NoReboot = true;
IAmazonEC2 ec2;
AmazonEC2Config ec2conf = new AmazonEC2Config();
ec2 = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonEC2Client(ec2conf);
// CreateImageResponse imageResp;
Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateImageResponse imageResp = null;
try
{
imageResp = ec2.CreateImage(rq);
}
catch (AmazonServiceException ase)
{
MessageBox.Show(ase.Message);
}
The result is always an AmazonServiceException saying that there is a NameResolutionFailure.
How do I overcome this? I tried different possible "name" possibilities but cannot find the right one.

string amiID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[AmazonConstants.AwsImageId];
string keyPairName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[AmazonConstants.AwsKeyPair];
List<string> groups = new List<string>() { ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[AmazonConstants.AwsSecurityGroupId] };
var launchRequest = new RunInstancesRequest()
{
ImageId = amiID,
InstanceType = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[AmazonConstants.AwsInstanceType],
MinCount = 1,
MaxCount = 1,
KeyName = keyPairName,
SecurityGroupIds = groups,
SubnetId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[AmazonConstants.AwsSubnetId]
};
RunInstancesResponse runInstancesResponse = amazonEc2client.RunInstances(launchRequest);
RunInstancesResult runInstancesResult = runInstancesResponse.RunInstancesResult;
Reservation reservation = runInstancesResult.Reservation;

Problem eventually solved!
it turned out thyat some codelines were doing things which were already done already and removing this part:
IAmazonEC2 ec2;
AmazonEC2Config ec2conf = new AmazonEC2Config();
ec2 = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonEC2Client(ec2conf);
// CreateImageResponse imageResp;
Amazon.EC2.Model.CreateImageResponse imageResp = null;
Made things clearer and no wrong repetitions happened! Now it works!

Getting the wrong event from google calendar api

Here is my current code:
Service = new CalendarService("googleid.apps.googleusercontent.com");
Service.setUserCredentials("calenderusername#gmail.com", "passwordforaccount");
var calendarquery = new EventQuery
{
Uri =new Uri("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/calenderusername#gmail.com/private/full"),
StartTime = DateTime.Now,
NumberToRetrieve = 1,
SortOrder = CalendarSortOrder.#ascending
};
var feedItem = Service.Query(calendarquery).Entries.FirstOrDefault() as EventEntry;
var times = new Google.GData.Extensions.When();
times = feedItem.Times[0];
var item = new CalendarEvent
{
Description = feedItem.Content.Content,
EventDateStart = times.StartTime,
Title = feedItem.Title.Text,
EventDateEnd = times.EndTime,
URL = feedItem.Links.FirstOrDefault().HRef.Content
};
However, i get the item listed out:
EventStartDate: {10.02.2014 11:00:00}
EventEndDate: {10.02.2014 23:30:00}
But i know there is an event today(07.02.2014). Anyone have any idea what im doing wrong?
I'm confused wether to use startDate or startTime in my calendarQuery.
