Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:

for a complete week.

Issue 142:

Name of affected component: Data Export API

Issue summary:
ga:week currently starts from Sunday. This is a major issue for most of our 
european clients.

Notes:
I would suggest a new ga:isoweek or something, since a week starts on Monday 
according to the International Standards Organisation. See reference here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date

(Cross-posted from the google-analytics-api group as it is relevant to this 
issue)

I'm experiencing a peculiar behavior when I request data segmented by 
ga:year,ga:isoWeek whenever a date range is specified that crosses a year 
boundary. An example copied straight from the Google API Explorer, requesting 
data from 2012/12/13 to 2013/01/01:

GET 
https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids={GA_ACCOUNT}&start-date=2012
-12-31&end-date=2013-01-01&metrics=ga%3Avisits&dimensions=ga%3Ayear%2Cga%3AisoWe
ek&sort=ga%3Ayear%2Cga%3AisoWeek&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

This returns:

 "rows": [
  [
   "2012",
   "01",
   "58974"
  ],
  [
   "2013",
   "01",
   "64839"
  ]
]

If you use ga:year,ga:week as dimensions instead, the return rows look like 
this:

 "rows": [
  [
   "2012",
   "53",
   "58974"
  ],
  [
   "2013",
   "01",
   "64839"
  ]
 ]

This latter looks correct, while the former seems incorrect to me, as December 
31st, 2012 belongs to ISO week 01/2013.

Could someone please take a look at this?

Many thanks and best regards

The problem described in the previous message is due to Google Analytics not 
supporting the ISO year in correspondence with the ISO week.  An ISO week is 
quite meaningless if you don't know what year it is associated with.

The Google Analytics API now supports ga:isoYear and ga:isoYearIsoWeek.
