Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:
Provide a brief summary of the the feature you'd like to see implemented.

http://groups.google.com/group/google-analytics-data-export-api/browse_thread/thread/5a1a86a2d3ef649f#

Could we have a site profile that we can use for developement purpose ?
This test profile would have all the data filled (adsense, campaign...). 

Use Cases:
Describe how you will use this feature if implemented.

Will be able to develop with data that is hard to get to, ie AdSense data
requires running AdSense.

Very interested in that feature. Developing an application for adsense reporting is 
difficult to test because no data are available...

I'm very interested as well, mostly for an education purpose...

This would be great to have.  I'm developing an application that pulls Analytics data into Plone, and it's difficult to do automated testing without a test profile.

Im very interested in this as well.  If it was in real-time so I could test e-commerce code that would be best

I could really use a feature like this. We do a lot of custom tweaking to the default analytics js, so being able to test it in a timely fashion is of great interest.

Yes, absolutely needed. Easier to learn, manage & work with. Right now, I've to wait for some data to be gathered before I can do anything with it.

I agree. It would make working with and testing api stuff much easier.

It would be great if we could see how everything should be implemented in such a website (e.g. custom variables, ecommerce etc.). I totally support this idea.

This would be great for testing apps with a larger amount of data.

Yes that would be very helpful, especially for those who may not have access to a site with reams of traffic but want to do some testing with a fully populated account.

Yeah need it !

Yeah need it !

Definitely need it! It is not that easy to develop without having an account with almost real data, advanced segments and so on..

I'd really appreciate the availability of a test-account like structure.

This would be very helpful for application development.

The issue is not on test data for me but rather the ability to test an application i develop locally and see if it corresponds to the changes I make before I affect a live production site.

Would be very helpful

Yes!! A must!

A test account like this would also be ideal for teaching analytics (universities).

Very helpful for training purposes!

Hi Google, any updates on a test account? Would be great for students and young professionals to play around with a text one before managing the real one!

My senior developer likes for us to create unit tests. Would be great to have a test account to use for unit testing instead of using a real client id where the data is constantly changing.

Also very interested in predefined account for white-box testing.

Great idea - I don't currently need GA for professional or personal reasons but want to have some test data to 'keep my hand in' with the functionality
Jan 29, 2013
#30 [email protected]
Seems like a sensible idea and would be very handy
Apr 26, 2013
#31 [email protected]
it would be really greate ,personally i need to show a lot of moves on GA to my students that i cant do on my own web sties

I would very much like this feature too.

We really need this feature.

Agree! Very useful!!

I can't believe this is still not provided. Get your act together Google, and support the community.

Can we please get this! This ticket has been sitting idle for almost 4 years!  This should be almost a necessity to dev with.  We (developers) don't always have accounts with data on either new implementations or new feature implementations.

Need this badly. Its quite wierd that an API is available without a way to test it (other than create an account & wait for months for the data to get populated).
