Where to find the report ID in the new Google Analytics

Nothing is ever that straightforward! The report ID which used to be shown in the Google Analytics interface have now been merged into a longer ID which only seems to be in the URL of the analytics profile. So, if you are using GAPI or some other API/code that needs the report ID, following these steps to get it:

  1. Log into Goggle Analytics
  2. Select the profile you want
  3. When the page has loaded, look at the URL – you are looking for the last part of the URL (or at least as of 08/12/11 it was the last part), a bit of text that should start with an a  and include a w and a p about 1/3 and 2/3 the way along. The text should look something like: aXXXXXXXwZZZZZZZZp12345678 where the X’s and Z’s are numbers and 12345678 is the report ID
