megaton 1.1.0

Python toolkit for running GA4 and Search Console reports in Colab/Notebooks and publishing results to Google Sheets, CSV, or BigQuery, with built-in retries and easy append/upsert.

megaton

Megaton is a Python toolkit for working with Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Google Sheets, and BigQuery from Notebooks with minimal code. It focuses on fast iteration during analysis and provides a UX tailored for Notebook workflows.

Core Concepts

• Result objects — Method chaining via SearchResult / ReportResult
• Simple flow — Open → Set dates → Run → Save
• Notebook-first — Designed for inspecting intermediate results at every step

Quick Start

Prerequisites

You need a Google Cloud service account JSON file with access to GA4, Search Console, or Sheets. See Google Cloud docs for how to create one.

Install

pip install megaton

Run a GA4 report and save to Google Sheets

from megaton.start import Megaton

mg = Megaton("/path/to/service_account.json")

# GA4: fetch event data
mg.report.set.dates("2024-01-01", "2024-01-31")
result = mg.report.run(d=["date", "eventName"], m=["eventCount"])

# Save to Google Sheets
mg.open.sheet("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/...")
mg.save.to.sheet("_ga_data", result.df)

Run the same report over multiple date ranges

df = mg.report.run.ranges(
    date_ranges=[("2024-01-01", "2024-01-31"), ("2025-01-01", "2025-01-31")],
    d=["date", "eventName"],
    m=["eventCount"],
)

Read a worksheet as DataFrame

mg.open.sheet("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/...")
daily_df = mg.sheets.read("daily")

Duplicate a worksheet and patch a cell

mg.open.sheet("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/...")
mg.sheets.duplicate(
    "template",
    "report_2024_02",
    cell_update={"cell": "B1", "value": "202402"},
)

Search Console with method chaining

# query_map: dict mapping regex patterns to category names
# e.g. {"brand.*keyword": "Brand", ".*": "(other)"}
result = (mg.search
    .run(dimensions=['query', 'page'], clean=True)
    .categorize('query', by=query_map)
    .filter_impressions(min=100)
)

mg.save.to.sheet('_query', result.df, sort_by='impressions')

Testing & Coverage

pytest --cov=megaton --cov-report=term-missing

• Coverage tracking excludes megaton/ga3.py.
• Rationale: GA3 (Universal Analytics) is a legacy compatibility module and is outside the active quality gate for current GA4/Search Console workflows.
