GA4MP - Google Analytics 4 Measurement Protocol

This is an open-source implementation for the client-side protocol used by Google Analytics 4. When I mention "client-side" is because it must be differentiated with the official GA4 Measurement Protocol offered by Google.

This library implements the public Google Analytics 4 protocol to make possible to do a full server-side tracking using NODE/JS which is not actually possible with the official Measurement Protocol , which is meant only to augment the current GA4 data and it's not ready for doing a full tracking.

Main differences with the official offerser server-side protocol are:

  • Trigger new sessions and visits starts
  • Track Sessions attribution
  • Override the User IP to populate the GEO Details
  • View the hits on the DebugView
  • Override ANY value you want
  • Easily portable to other languages

If we compare this library with the official GTAG implementation.

  • Lightweight 8.7kb (<4kb compressed ) 95.6% Lighter than a GTAG Container image
  • Privacy Compliant: Full control over which cookies are created/read and sent to Google
  • Dual Tracking (send hits to multiple measurement Ids)
