Question

Can someone give an example of the query to be used?How do we access the acquisitions and then campaign data from that ?

Answer 1

The simplest method would be to make an Analytics Reporting API V4 request with the ga:newusers metric and the ga:source, ga:medium, ga:campaign.

POST https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/v4/reports:batchGet
{
  "reportRequests": 
  [
    {
      "viewId": "1174",
      "dateRanges": 
      [
        {
          "startDate": "2014-11-01",
          "endDate": "2014-11-30"
        }
      ],
      "metrics": 
      [
        {
          "expression": "ga:newusers"
        }
      ],
      "dimensions": 
      [
        {
          "name": "ga:campaign"
        },
        {
          "name": "ga:source"
        },
        {
          "name": "ga:medium"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

And again in the API Explorer.

The API also allows you to construct a cohort request to measure engagement overtime.

If you are new to Google's APIs, they make available many client libraries as well as set of quickstart guides.
