Cloud Trace API

googleapis · Analytics

Analytics No Auth Free & Open analytics media

Sends application trace data to Cloud Trace for viewing. Trace data is collected for all App Engine applications by default. Trace data from other applications can be provided using this API. This library is used to interact with the Cloud Trace API directly. If you are looking to instrument your application for Cloud Trace, we recommend using OpenTelemetry.

Authentication

No authentication requiredFree to use with no key needed.

Sample Requests

GET cloudtrace.projects.traceSinks.list

List all sinks for the parent resource (GCP project).

What can you build with Cloud Trace API?

Cloud Trace API is a Analytics API. Developers commonly use analytics APIs for:

tracking product usage and user behaviour
building custom reporting and BI dashboards
measuring marketing and campaign performance
running funnel, retention, and cohort analysis
aggregating metrics from multiple data sources

No authentication required. This API is open — no signup or key needed. Ideal for quick prototypes and public-facing features. Cloud Trace API is free to use, making it a low-risk choice to experiment with.
