Here are the resources I use the most for getting the data out of GA: Dimension and Metrics List: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceDimensionsMetrics.html Data Query Feed Explorer (most helpful): http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataExplorer.html The Data Query Feed Explorer will actually give you the query url you need to use for the information you want returned. Good luck. @Ruben

Do you know were can i find the other Google Analytics variables to make some tests? for example Goals Variables? Thanks a lot again.
