Hello Everyone, I am planning to use Rudderstack Opensource for the following: Daily visitsUnique visitorsTotal events Monthly New visitorsTotalBy country Traffic by deviceMobileTabletDesktopTV screen Recommended hoursVisitor by group of hours (4 hours timeframe) using user local time. Number of visitors from Top locationsTop 10 of countries comparative chart per month Heat geographical map of source of traffic I believe the Google Analytics is not available for Rudderstack Open source though I planned to use Pixel API for this. Can you please suggest a solutions to achieve this using the Rudderstack Open source.

I can see google analytics destination: https://www.rudderstack.com/docs/destinations/streaming-destinations/google-analytics-ga/ can you check directory -> destination for all destinations? You can try free tier version that has 1M events free if your requirements are less than that.

Hello @bland-winter-58198 Thank you for this. Though I believe it is to Send your event data from RudderStack to Google Analytics. I want to get data from Google Analytics or Pixel over my Rudderstack Opensource platform.

Event stream usecase is possible from rudderstack open source. If you want to pull data from google Analytics and send to some other destination that is not supported in open source version. That is an extract usecase. Let me know if any confusion.

So the plan is to use the Rudderstack open source software and get the data mentioned in the first message (Daily visitsUnique visitorsTotal events Monthly New visitorsTotalBy country Traffic by deviceMobileTabletDesktopTV screen Recommended hoursVisitor by group of hours (4 hours timeframe) using user local time. Number of visitors from Top locationsTop 10 of countries comparative chart per month Heat geographical map of source of traffic) over Rudderstack through Pixel or any other solutions available.

Pixel API is just another way to send data to dataplane. It’s usually used to track emails. This API is very useful in scenarios where making a POST request is not possible.

@bland-winter-58198 what could be the reason of getting this error.
Copy code
./scripts/generate-event 2M2UOkcaVczGavjqToBgs6EmkgS <http://localhost:8080/v1/batch>
Invalid Write Key
In the case of cloud Rudderstack write key I am getting OK.
b
"2M2UOkcaVczGavjqToBgs6EmkgS" <- write key is not valid. Config your data plane has, this write key is not part of that.
s
How i will get a valid key?

If you are using control plane open source account, then you can pick from there. It should be on your source section.
