GA4 Realtime API
Overview
The Realtime API is GA4's "what's happening right now" endpoint. Different from runReport:
runReport (Data API) |
runRealtimeReport (Realtime) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Freshness | ~24-48h lag, stable | Last ~30 min, rolling |
| Window | Any date range | Implicit — last 30 min |
| Metrics | ~50 supported | ~10 supported (subset) |
| Dimensions | ~150 supported | ~15 supported (subset) |
| Quota | Per-property daily | Separate Realtime quota |
| Use case | Reports, dashboards, trend analysis | Live dashboards, monitoring, "are we down?" |
Don't try to use runReport for now-data — its freshest data point is yesterday. Use runRealtimeReport.
