How do you programmatically add an annotation in Google Analytics? [duplicate]

Question

Google analytics supports annotations (see: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/google-analytics-annotations/ ). I would like to add a call to add an annotation to our Google Analytics property in our deployment script.

Answer 1

I find out that you cannot, yet. See https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=53

It was a feature requested 7 years ago and people keep regularly adding "+1".

Considering that Google Analytics does not have its own Google Product Group open to discussions (only a group for notifications to the users: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-analytics-api-notify ), I hope that somebody in their team is listening and can bring this feature request up to the management.
