googleAnalytics 0.5.0

Breaking changes!

If you were using google_analytics() before to fetch the v3 API, this is now available via google_analytics_3() - replace all instances and it should work as before. However, you are encouraged to migrate to v4, which now runs when you use google_analytics()(and for a while still at google_analytics_4() too)

Major changes

• Add support for resource based quotas if you are on GA360 (#127)
• Improve support for using different auth cache files with ga_auth()
• Changed google_analytics to be the v4 API, google_analytics_3 now supports v3
• change default cache token name from .httr-oauth to ga.oauth to avoid clashes
• You can now change the rows fetched per API page in v4 up to 100k
• Add unsampled report downloads (#44 - many thanks to @j450h1 for this work on this)
• Add management of View and account filters (#108 - many thanks to @zselinger for the work on this)
• If an google_analytics batch API call fails, it will automatically retry with a slower request rate
• v4 API requests will report how long it took to help with configurations

Bug fixes

• Fix bug where anti-sampling with no dimensions broke (#149 - thanks @smach)
• Let v3 API calls use batching when also using other googleAuthR batching functions
