i just received a similar error message...

"GAPI: Failed to request report data. Error: "Illegal combination of dimensions 
and
metrics""

...when i tried to include "visitors" as a metric:

$ga->requestReportData(ga_profile_id,array('hostname'),array('pageviews','visits
','visitors'),null,'hostname
=@ example.com','2009-10-01','2009-10-31');

the above works with just 'pageviews' and 'visits'. i can create a custom 
report in
GA that allows for "hostname" dimension with these three metrics. so why can't i
retrieve the same using GAPI?

thank you!

I get a similar error when trying to query for pagePath

$filter = '/contact-us.php';

$ga->requestReportData(ga_profile_id,'pagePath',array('pageviews','uniquePagevie
ws','visits'),'-visits',$filter);

GAPI: Failed to request report data. Error: "Invalid value for filters 
parameter: /contact-us.php"

how do I get stats about a page?  this should be a basic operation right?

Hi indiegenus,

The restrict the ga:visitors with only time related dimension, see:
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceValidCombos.html

You can try their testing playground here (will ask to connect your real ga 
account):
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataExplorer.html

Valid Combination for visitors:
Dimension: ga:date,ga:day
Metrics: ga:visitors

visitors is a very limited bit in GA API call
