Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edit scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edit. You can set the scope for this method like this: analytics3 --scope <scope> management webproperties-insert ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <account-id> (string)
    • Account ID to create the web property for.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Webproperty:
  account-id: string
  child-link:
    href: string
    type: string
  created: string
  data-retention-reset-on-new-activity: boolean
  data-retention-ttl: string
  default-profile-id: string
  id: string
  industry-vertical: string
  internal-web-property-id: string
  kind: string
  level: string
  name: string
  parent-link:
    href: string
    type: string
  permissions:
    effective: [string]
  profile-count: integer
  self-link: string
  starred: boolean
  updated: string
  website-url: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . account-id=et
    • Account ID to which this web property belongs.
  • child-link href=kasd

    • Set to true to reset the retention period of the user identifier with each new event from that user (thus setting the expiration date to current time plus retention period). Set to false to delete data associated with the user identifier automatically after the rentention period. This property cannot be set on insert.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
