Using Google Analytics to track tweets and website

问题:

Basically,

my task is to: use Google Analytics data to track the number of tweets R bloggers make per day as well as the incoming traffic from twitter, such that I can generate a csv file and I can perform analysis on these data.

I was given a hint to look at the Google API documentation for info on what data can be scraped using Google Analytics: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#q_summary https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets

This is what i am asked to do ultimately. I was so confused. I do not have a clue what approach and how to do this. Do I have to build an application to do this ?

Now, I have never used google analytics / google developers before. I am not looking a solution here. Rather, I am looking for someone who can point me to the right direction, i.e. links or materials to look at in order to tackle this problem.

Thanks.

If you're looking to track people who come to your site and tweet a blog post, you should be able to get data by installing social interaction tracking:

Google Analytics : Twitter Tweets

Universal Analytics : Social Interactions

Once you have installed social tracking, you can view the social plugins report in Google Analytics by going to Acquisitions > Social > Plugins.
