-Google Analytics
-----------------
-
-The :mod:`~pandas.io.ga` module provides a wrapper for
-`Google Analytics API <https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides>`__
-to simplify retrieving traffic data.
-Result sets are parsed into a pandas DataFrame with a shape and data types
-derived from the source table.
-
-Configuring Access to Google Analytics
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The first thing you need to do is to setup accesses to Google Analytics API. Follow the steps below:
-
-#. In the `Google Developers Console <https://console.developers.google.com>`__
-    #. enable the Analytics API
-    #. create a new project
-    #. create a new Client ID for an "Installed Application" (in the "APIs & auth / Credentials section" of the newly created project)
-    #. download it (JSON file)
-#. On your machine
-    #. rename it to ``client_secrets.json``
-    #. move it to the ``pandas/io`` module directory
-
-The first time you use the :func:`read_ga` function, a browser window will open to ask you to authentify to the Google API. Do proceed.
-
-Using the Google Analytics API
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following will fetch users and pageviews (metrics) data per day of the week, for the first semester of 2014, from a particular property.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import pandas.io.ga as ga
-    ga.read_ga(
-        account_id  = "2360420",
-        profile_id  = "19462946",
-        property_id = "UA-2360420-5",
-        metrics     = ['users', 'pageviews'],
-        dimensions  = ['dayOfWeek'],
-        start_date  = "2014-01-01",
-        end_date    = "2014-08-01",
-        index_col   = 0,
-        filters     = "pagePath=~aboutus;ga:country==France",
-    )
-
-The only mandatory arguments are ``metrics,`` ``dimensions`` and ``start_date``. We strongly recommend that you always specify the ``account_id``, ``profile_id`` and ``property_id`` to avoid accessing the wrong data bucket in Google Analytics.
-
-The ``index_col`` argument indicates which dimension(s) has to be taken as index.
-
-The ``filters`` argument indicates the filtering to apply to the query. In the above example, the page URL has to contain ``aboutus`` AND the visitors country has to be France.
