Better API DocumentationNew

Hello All,I was hoping you could get two things on the roadmap.1.  Better documentation around your APIs (Though what you have is a great start) 2. Better responses from your APIs when the WSSE Header is wrong (which, though I'm no expert, I feel was stupid hard  "unable to validate" is not helpful).Here's some things that aren't mentioned (Keep in mind, I'm not a network/IT guy, just trying to help):1. Nonce / Digest should be ASCII format when created (not sure if this is 100% correct, but it worked for me)2. Base 64 encoded Digest and Nonce must be DEcoded before sending (this may be common knowledge for some, but wasn't listed)3. When decoding, you have to remove the leading whites pace from the values that are decoded4. The POSTMAN example is a good start, but it would be great if you could explain in more detail what is occurring at each step.5. You don't need a SHA1, you can use any hashing algorithm as long as its sent in the header6. Each parameter value of the header should be a string, not its raw value at each step.7.  Give a way to generate the header with hard-coded values (not sure how to work around the timestamp, but it would really help sanity check)8.  Headers must be passed as a dictionary (in python)Again, I'm not a developer by trade, so I get there's going to be difficulty.  But if you add a few more clear steps, maybe a tutorial video or two on the concepts involved here, everyone will be able to use the tools more effectivelyThese are the things I referenced:python-omniture/account.py at master · dancingcactus/python-omniture · GitHub Gathering the details to make Reporting API requests | Adobe Developer Connection GitHub - AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis: Documentation and helpful resources for calling the Analytics 1.4 Apis Also, here is a quick python 3 example you should upload to your docs:import datetime, pytz, requests, uuid, hashlib, binascii#use this to get your secret dynamically from your normal login credentials#r2 = requests.request(method="POST",url="https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.4/rest/?method=Company.GetLoginKey",data = {"company":"yourcompany","login":"login ID", "password":"password"})Username = "user:company"Secret = "blabalafoobar"Nonce = str(uuid.uuid4())Datum = datetime.datetime.now(tz=pytz.UTC).astimezone(pytz.timezone("US/Mountain")).isoformat()ShaKey = Nonce+Datum+SecretHash = hashlib.sha256(ShaKey.encode())B64Nonce = binascii.b2a_base64(binascii.a2b_qp(Nonce))B64Digest = binascii.b2a_base64(Hash.digest())B64DigestDecoded = B64Digest.decode().strip()B64NonceDecoded = B64Nonce.decode().strip()Header = 'UsernameToken Username="{}", PasswordDigest="{}", Nonce="{}", Created="{}", Algorithm="SHA256"'.format(Username, B64DigestDecoded, B64NonceDecoded, Datum)r = requests.request(method = "POST",url ="https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.4/rest/?method=Company.GetReportSuites", headers={'X-WSSE':Header})

Integrate Webmaster Tools Data into AnalyticsNew

Webmaster Tools provides great visibility into search performance - full keyword list of terms, with impressions, clickthroughs, average position, etc. This information has become even more valuable as most organic search terms are now blocked. The Webmaster Tools interface, however, isn't fantastic, and the ability to get the data organized and exported properly is frustrating. Google Analytics has helped here - you can link GA and Webmaster Tools, to allow users to take advantage of GA's better reporting functionality. It seems to me Adobe should do the same here - by using the Webmaster Tools API (https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/) full keyword data could be brought into the Analytics interface. Granted it isn't integrated with site usage data, but that's still a whole lot better than what is in place now. My guess is almost 100% of clients would want this functionality. Right now, we are running both Adobe and GA in parallel in order to get this reporting functionality, and frankly a lot of our internal users are logging in to GA more and more regularly. In terms of optics, it seems to me Adobe should really care about this. I've been having a lot of conversations with people who are under the impression that "search keywords are blocked in Adobe, but not in Google Analytics". While I know that's not technically true, it certainly appears that way when using the two tools side by side.
