what does it mean?

I ran

meltano elt tap-google-analytics target-jsonl

and it works still, I will try the one you shared, thank you!

Maybe you know about the:

oauth_credentials.access_token
oauth_credentials.client_id
oauth_credentials.client_secret
oauth_credentials.refresh_token

I've got the

client_id

and

client_secret

and then I use strange url to get

refresh token

<https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fanalytics.readonly&access_type=offline&prompt=consent>

After I use strange python:

import requests

def exchange_code_for_tokens(client_id, client_secret, code):
    url = "<https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token>"
    data = {
        'code': code,
        'client_id': client_id,
        'client_secret': client_secret,
        'redirect_uri': '<http://localhost>',
        'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
    }
    response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>(url, data=data)
    return response.json()

client_id = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
code = ""

tokens = exchange_code_for_tokens(client_id, client_secret, code)
print(tokens)

to get the

access_token

and this was enougth to export data from GA. However, the token will expire in 3000s, how meltano can obtain fresh token to run tap daily?

And I noticed this message:

Note: If the Property Settings shows a "Tracking Id" such as "UA-123...-1", this Property is a Universal Analytics property, and the Analytics data for that property cannot be reported on in the Data API. For that property, you can use the Google Analytics Reporting API v4 to produce analytics data reports.

And I have the UA-... Tracking ID
