rest - authenticating google analytics api

Question

I am using query explorer to get the API constructed in google analytics, but this comes with token. I don't know how can I get a token or authenticate so it never expires.

I am not using any app, just want when I hit browser with API I get JSON results that's it.

Please someone please help me to authenticate the API I get from query explorer in GA.

Answer 1

The query explorer is only a tryout platform and DOES NOT produce tokens for indefinite use.

There is a step by step setup for this: https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=analytics&credential=client_key&pli=1
