Generate Google Analytics events (
I am willing to use Google Analytics to track stats about usage of my Client/Server application (no Browser on the user computer!).
So I guess if anyone ever tried to craft requests to __utm.gif from serverside code.
I have found some information on the request and relevant cookies at google website but there are no details on the cookies values passed in the "utmcc" variable.
I understand that I will not be able to "craft" some of the information which Analytics server derives from the request itself (one for all: the source IP address!). I can't generate requests from the Client computer.
Does anyone have experience with this scenario? Any detailed information or resource? Any working code snippet (any language will do! :)?
I asked a similar question recently and somebody gave me a link, and I found another from the same site:

Google's Analytics code is provided in the form of a JS library, ga.js. When a tracking function is called from this library, a request is made to a gif file on the GA servers at either of the following URLs:
http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif //from http pages https://ssl.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif //from https pages
The following are parameters that may be used in the request to provide GA with detailed information:
?utmwv=1 //Urchin/Analytics version
&utmn=634440486
&utmcs=UTF-8 //document encoding
&utmsr=1440x900 //screen resolution

&utmul=nl //user language

utmccn=(organic)| //utm_campaign

Remember that the &utmcc values need to be URL encoded.
The links in this answer have proven to be a little unreliable, so here are some other resources that might be useful:
you might want to give http://code.google.com/p/serversidegoogleanalytics/ a try. its working for me (in combination with zend framework for the http request).
Years after this question was posted a new method emerged.
Google Analytics now has a measurement protocol. You should favor this because it's supported and documented, unlike the other solutions that try to emulate a protocol that is not fully supported.
In order to use it you need to create a new Web Property that is Universal Analytics enabled.
Full details about the Measurement Protocol in the developer docs.
