I was looking for an API for Google Analytics. I didn’t find one, but I did find a slick little application for looking at the reports and stats of Google Analytics.
The Google Analytics Reporting suite is an Adobe AIR application that brings Google Analytics to the desktop. It uses it’s own custom API to interact with Google and nearly implements all features of Analytics. See the feature list for more info.
First, you need to download and install the Adobe AIR framework:

NOTE: at the time of this post, you need to download and install the Beta2 release of AIR for the current release of the Google Analytics Reporting suite
Then download and install the gas2.air air-application.
Slick. (good to setup for clients / noobs who want to watch their numbers)
