Google Analytics – visits for all visitors – comparison Ruby script

Hi. I stole this GA Visits for all visitors ruby script from our CTO. Hope you find it useful. It requires installed Ruby.

It displays

• visits for all visitors
• hourly view
• yesterday – compared to – day before
• current day – compared to – day before
• side-by-side

Note: screenshot does not display Tupalo.com data, but data from another experimental domain.

here is the code, all you need to do is to paste your profile-id into it. (the stuff after &id= highlighted in yellow).

#!/usr/bin/ruby -wKU

class Fixnum
def day(v=self); v * 24 * 3600; end
def week(v=self); v * 7.day; end
end

def google_analytics_visitors_compared_to_last_week_url(time = Time.now)
date_now = time.strftime("%Y%m%d")
date_last_week = (time - 1.week).strftime("%Y%m%d")
"https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/visits?id=your id here&seg0=-1&pdr=#{date_now}-#{date_now}&cdr=#{date_last_week}-#{date_last_week}&cmp=date_range&gdfmt=hour&rpt=VisitsReport&gdfmt=hour"
end

def open_in_browser(url)
system "open '#{url}'"
end

open_in_browser google_analytics_visitors_compared_to_last_week_url(Time.now)
open_in_browser google_analytics_visitors_compared_to_last_week_url(Time.now - 1.day)
