Python and Google Analytics 4 Tutorial | Most Popular Posts

In this video, we'll imagine a mock scenario where the Developer team needs you to query Google Analytics to get the most popular posts from the past 24 hours, using Python, and writing that data to a JSON file, where the dev team can then apply it to the website's trending posts.

We'll learn
- How to set up a Google project and correct permissions to access the Google Analytics Data API
- How to interact with the Google Analytics 4 API with Python
- How to effectively read documentation
- How to retrieve the 5 most popular posts from Google Analytics using Python
- How to write this data to a file

I'll prompt you with opportunities to write the code and find the solution, yourself.
