v3 API MCF reports fetching

[aleevsergey]

Hi Mark! Thanks for this project, it is really helpful.

I faced some problems few days ago when one of my clients get bitter amount of data that was expected.

I'm using this for fetching the data for him:

response <- google_analytics_3(
          id = id,
          start = j,
          end = j,
          metrics = metrics_to_get,
          dimensions = dimensions_to_get,
          filters = filter,
          type = "mcf",
          max_results = 10000,
          samplingLevel = "HIGHER_PRECISION"
        )

And now it started to get this type of response from API:

I know that it's better to go to v4, but there are no MCF reports. So maybe it can be fixed somehow? Thanks for your help!

I'm surprised it's lasted this long, I guess they may have turned it off. Regardless it will be by July 2023 so it's probably not going to be fixed sorry :)

It's still working, but only for max_results <10k. Any way. Thanks!

Oh ok yes that is an outstanding issue from a while back that got passed over to fix. The parsing function used in the others isn't used for mcf as it's in a format not easily migrated.
