Google Analytics API and .Net

Tags:

Google announced the Analytics Data Export API some days ago, thereby making it much easier to get analytics data for a site. The API debuted with Java and Javascript clients, but no direct .Net support (other than going straight for the XML). It seems the API is similar to the other Google Data APIs though, and there's a .Net client for those. Has anyone tried using the components in that library to get at the analytics data?

I'm in the process of building an ASP.Net MVC site and thought I'd use Google Analytics to generate "Most viewed" lists and stuff like that (since Google is probably better at weeding out spurious requests, robots, etc.). If you have any thoughts on that idea, I'd much appreciate hearing them too.
