Answer 1

If you are creating a Service Account application to access Google Analytics.

1. Register it with Google through https://code.google.com/apis/console. On API Access tab, click Create client ID, choose Service Account. Store the key file Google will generate, and remember the password for that key.

2. Here is some code to get you started

   require 'rubygems'
   require 'google/api_client'
   
   api_client = Google::APIClient.new
   path_to_key_file ="/path/to/key/file-privatekey.p12"
   passphrase = "google_generated_password"
   key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key(path_to_key_file, passphrase)
   

Once a key is available, initialize the asserter with your client ID (email in APIs console) and authorization scopes.

asserter = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter.new(
   'super_long_client_id_from_api_console@developer.gserviceaccount.com',
   'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly',
   key)

# To request an access token, call authorize:
api_client.authorization = asserter.authorize()
puts api_client.authorization.access_token
