Question
Many times we get the below question so we thought about clarifying this matter.
Why are you using Google Analytics API v3 rather than newer API v4 for Google Analytics Source Component?
Answer
As per this announcement by Google, there is no harm in using the older version as long as you don't need features introduced in v4 API.
Google clearly said they will maintain both versions v3 and v4 so no need to worry if users are using v3 API. Based on the use case user can choose v3 or v4.
ZappySys spent a significant amount of time developing Google Analytics Component with v3 API. Migrating our component to v4 API needs a total re-write of an already well-tested component.
We will not gain any new features by upgrading to v4 and it may add the risk of breaking existing ETL workflows written by our customers, so we have decided not to move to a new API until we find certain features missing in v3 which we need to add in our component.
