: Differences in Core Reporting API metrics due to users metric When I used the Google Analytics Core Reporting API to make queries to retrieve data from a GA view I saw quite some big changes

When I used the Google Analytics Core Reporting API to make queries to retrieve data from a GA view I saw quite some big changes in metrics such as sessions, transactions and number of newusers in comparison to the GA UI. Finally I found out that it was due to the fact that I included the number of users in my query. When I removed that, all metrics returned exactly the same numbers as in the GA UI. Now my question is, does someone know why this is the case?

Query:
Dim's: date, keyword
Metrics: sessions, newUsers, transactions, transactionRevenue, users
