Query Google Admin SDK Reporting API For Google Apps Domain, Output to Graphite

The "Reports" section in the Google Apps (gapps) Admin Dashboard has some interesting stats, but only retains data for the past 6 months. If you want to have that data for longer, Google now recommends the Admin SDK's Reports API instead of the deprecated Google Apps Reporting API. I did have a python repo on Github to query the old Reporting API and send the output to graphite, but I have I have since rewritten it to use the new API. It can be found here.

As with the Groups Settings API, you can use these Google Drive SDK instructions to set up a service account and get sample code to access the Admin SDK Reports API for your gapps domain using OAuth 2.0. It seems like most of Google's APIs are moving towards requiring OAuth 2.0 so this two-legged OAuth 2.0 (2LO) method of access for domain-wide delegation seems like it will soon be required for scripts that need gapps domain-wide authority. I just wish Google did a better job telling gapps admins how to set that up.
