Google Analytics Measurement Protocol

The Google Analytics Measurement Protocol is the server-side equivalent of embedding Google Analytics into a web page.

It means that you can log any sort of activity - Raw TCP or UDP events, or specific interactions that are triggered by events like AJAX.

gaex.user.cid = "kong"
gaex.session.ua = "aua"
gaex.traffic.ci = "ci"
gaex.system.fl = "x"
gaex.hit.ni = 2


do {
    let str = try gaex.generate()
    print(str)
    let resp = gaex.makeRequest(useragent: "TestingAPI1.0", body: str)
    print(resp)
} catch {
    print("\(error)")
}
