This compatibility method lists dimensions and metrics that can be added to a report request and maintain compatibility. This method fails if the request's dimensions and metrics are incompatible. In Google Analytics, reports fail if they request incompatible dimensions and/or metrics; in that case, you will need to remove dimensions and/or metrics from the incompatible report until the report is compatible. The Realtime and Core reports have different compatibility rules. This method checks compatibility for Core reports.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics. You can set the scope for this method like this: analyticsdata1-beta --scope <scope> properties check-compatibility ...

Required Scalar Argument

<property> (string)
- A Google Analytics GA4 property identifier whose events are tracked. To learn more, see where to find your Property ID. property should be the same value as in your runReport request. Example: properties/1234

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:

CheckCompatibilityRequest:
  compatibility-filter: string
  dimension-filter:
    filter:
      between-filter:
        from-value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
        to-value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
      field-name: string
      in-list-filter:
        case-sensitive: boolean
        values: [string]
      numeric-filter:
        operation: string
        value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
      string-filter:
        case-sensitive: boolean
        match-type: string
        value: string
  metric-filter:
    filter:
      between-filter:
        from-value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
        to-value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
      field-name: string
      in-list-filter:
        case-sensitive: boolean
        values: [string]
      numeric-filter:
        operation: string
        value:
          double-value: number
          int64-value: string
      string-filter:
        case-sensitive: boolean
        match-type: string
        value: 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 . compatibility-filter=ipsum
- Filters the dimensions and metrics in the response to just this compatibility. Commonly used as ”compatibilityFilter”: “COMPATIBLE” to only return compatible dimensions & metrics.
dimension-filter.filter.between-filter.from-value double-value=0.9217265098962596
- Double value
int64-value=gubergren
- Integer value
..to-value double-value=0.39155134552901283
- Double value
int64-value=gubergren
- Integer value
... field-name=eos
- The dimension name or metric name. In most methods, dimensions & metrics can be used for the first time in this field. However in a RunPivotReportRequest, this field must be additionally specified by name in the RunPivotReportRequest's dimensions or metrics.
in-list-filter case-sensitive=true
- If true, the string value is case sensitive.
values=invidunt
- The list of string values. Must be non-empty.
- Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
..numeric-filter operation=amet
- The operation type for this filter.
value double-value=0.8204376297831348
- Double value
int64-value=ipsum
- Integer value
...string-filter case-sensitive=false

int64-value=ipsum
- Integer value
..to-value double-value=0.4033695817113857
- Double value
int64-value=est
- Integer value
... field-name=gubergren
- The dimension name or metric name. In most methods, dimensions & metrics can be used for the first time in this field. However in a RunPivotReportRequest, this field must be additionally specified by name in the RunPivotReportRequest's dimensions or metrics.
in-list-filter case-sensitive=false
- If true, the string value is case sensitive.
values=lorem
- The list of string values. Must be non-empty.
- Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
..numeric-filter operation=eos
- The operation type for this filter.
value double-value=0.11853734747270994

...string-filter case-sensitive=false
- If true, the string value is case sensitive.
match-type=no
- The match type for this filter.
value=stet
- The string value used for the matching.

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.
