Sampled issues -Strange behavior #873

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

Hi,
We are working with Google Analytics PREMIUM retrieving data from the API 
available. We run every hour some queries (with the API) to extract from GA the 
information for "today". 
The problem is that the query we do at 2pm is coming with sampled data, at 3pm 
is coming unsampled data and then at 4pm is coming sampled again
​ and so on​. How is it possible that during the day the queries are coming 
sampled/unsampled data without following any logic? 

Thanks in advance.

It can take up time for data to be fully processed, for intraday requests it's 
quite likely that there are hits that are known but have not been processed 
into unsampled data.

If you have not done so already you could improve the liklyhood of getting 
unsampled data by setting the `samplingLevel` to HIGHER_PRECISION:
