How to Pull Your Related Products Data From Google Analytics

The Related Products data isn’t available through Google Analytics interface. You can access it only through the Core Reporting API.

Google also built a Query Explorer that allows you to build your own query to retrieve various data including the related products data from Google Analytics.

To pull your related products data, you can go to the Query Explorer, allow access to your Google Analytics account and start building your own queries.

That’s it!
