# This script is meant to run as a geeklet once you have OAuth 2.0 set up (and you filled in the variables below)
# By default, it will display today's visits but the metric can be changed
# Set this geeklet to refresh every 3500 seconds or so (the token is valid for 1 hour, so this gives a little bit of a buffer
# The biggest caveat is that if the token expires, you have to go through the process of requesting another one
# That said, this geeklet would work best on a computer that never shuts down

#---------VARIABLES-------
# Colors
# These could be used for as a visual indicator if you want x amount of visitors to be green (good) and y amount to be red (not enough visitors)
end="\x1b[0m"
bold="\x1b[001m"
underscore="\x1b[004m"
red="\x1b[031m"
green="\x1b[032m"
yellow="\x1b[033m"

# These should be all filled in after OAuth is set up
# Instructions to do so are here:

# API credentials
source ~/oauth_cache.txt


# Google Analytics ID and desired metric
# Just the number, do not prefix with ga:
#   profileID="12345678"
#       NOT
#   profileID="ga:12345678"
#
profileID=""
desiredMetric="activeUsers"
