: Can I programatically update a Google Analytics filter? We have a constantly changing list of IPs that needs to be filtered out of google analytics, is there some API, or way to fetch the

You can now do this as part of their Google Analytics Management API.

Example in Python

# Note: This code assumes you have an authorized Analytics service object.
# See the Filters Developer Guide for details.

# This request creates a new filter.
try:
analytics.management().filter().insert(
accountId='123456',
body={
'name': 'My Domain Filter',
'type': 'EXCLUDE',
'excludeDetails': {
'field': 'GEO_DOMAIN',
'matchType': 'EQUAL',
'expressionValue': 'example.com',
'caseSensitive': False
}
}
).execute()

except TypeError, error:
# Handle errors in constructing a query.
print 'There was an error in constructing your query : %s' % error

except HttpError, error:
# Handle API errors.
print ('There was an API error : %s : %s' %
(error.resp.status, error.resp.reason))

Sadly, no , although this would be a great feature though. The best thing you can do is block ranges of IP, you can do this with the following format:-

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255


Regex's to

^192.168.0.([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1([0-9][0-9])|2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-5]))$


Google have an IP range generation tool to help you out with this.
