Creating an Interactive bar Chart out of Google Analytics Data

I want to make a bar chart from the google analytics data.

Current implemetation of the bar chart in my site is by See Analytics

I am developing an ASP.NET website and this See Analytics is using PHP and jQuery to conjure the chart. It is also paid.

What my client w开发者_开发问答ould like is a similar tool that draws chart from analytics, without a PHP Component in it. ie. A similar tool using ASP.NET and jQuery/javascript.

What I would like is to get that tool for free(open source).

What are my options?

Have you looked into using the other free tools from Google:

The Google Visualization API: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/

The Google Chart API: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/

They have some examples of how to use analytics data with the charts libraries.

Flot is an excellent jQuery-plugin for making such graphs and more importantly it's open source. I'm not familiar with ASP.NET, but there are good examples available for Google Analytics API connectivity in ASP.NET.

I would do it with PHP and jQuery + flot and it would probably be the easiest way too. Another option is to use MooTools for the graphs, which is a similar JavaScript framework as jQuery. Even with MooTools the data should be retrieved with PHP.

Here's an example of jQuery + flot + Google Analytics which is just what you are looking for even though it's implemented with PHP.

Check out the Google Analytics API Gallery. There are a lot of solutions there. I have created a 3rd party service (www.embeddedanalytics.com) which does exactly this. Mind you it is not a source code solution. But rather a 3rd party SaaS. And there are free options available.
