Real time visitors from Google Analytics. How to get it?

Question

Is there any way using gapi (preferable) to retrieve the real time visitors from Google Analytics?

I tried to pass a date range like:

begin: 2012-12-12 09:49:04 end: 2012-12-12 09:49:05

but it didn't work.

I did a research and couldn't find a solution yet.

Someone can help me?

Answer 1

Google has now launched a real time API. It is only in beta however you can sign up and should be available to everyone later.

Answer 2

Access to the real-time data is not yet available through the api. See the following:

The only way to get it currently is to look at it in the Google Analytics web interface: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/
