API List 2 DF: Part 1 - Google Analytics

Purpose/implementation Section

What changes are being implemented in this Pull Request?

#13 First stop on the road for data to be turned into nice data frames. There will be a series of these types of PRs where I'm trying to make custom functions that turn our API lists into nice dataframes for easy use!

What was your approach?

Made custom functions that pull out the relevant data and put it into a nice data frame format!

Now all_ga_metrics() function that I developed in #11 has an argument that by default is set to "dataframe" which means we attempt to convert the gnarly API list into a nice data.frame. However, if someone wanted the original result they could just change this to "raw".

@howardbaek This is ready for your review. And if it runs okay for you then the output data for ITCR account for the all_ga_metrics() function is what you will want to start to build the dashboard based on.

Hopefully writing it flexibly enough that the other data sources will be able to be added to it later.

@howardbaek can you test if the following works for you on this branch?

stats_list <- all_ga_metrics(account_id = 209776907)

[howardbaik]

stats_list <- all_ga_metrics(account_id = 209776907)

I ran this line of code and got a list of length 3: metrics, dimensions, and link_clicks.

Perfect. That is what we expect.
