The goal of this ticket is to create an easy to use tool that will let anyone import in Piwik their Google Analytics data.

Features expected in this tool

• Import one or several websites
• Import data for all periods, or only import for a custom date range
• For each website, we import the report data: Top pages, top events, top browsers, etc. (for the 50 reports available in Piwik or so)
• Note: will not import the raw log visitor data since it is not available via Google Analytics API
• Create a simple user interface, which uses a console command

Tasks

• Proposed name: Google Analytics Importer
• Create new project at piwik/importer-google-analytics
• plugin published on the Marketplace.... or we put it in Matomo core instead?
• Let user connect via oAuth to the Google APIs, fetch automatically the profiles, websites available.
• Run import via the UI or directly let user execute the console command
• Test the importer on a few websites,
  • including a website with medium traffic to check that we work around Google API limits
• Release the tool to public:
  • update this blog post, this FAQ
  • write a new blog post about the tool

This issue requires #6094 (Create an API to let users import historical report data in Piwik)
