+"""Google Analytics Data API sample quickstart application.
+Example usage:
+    python quickstart.py --property_id <PROPERTY_ID>
+
+    where <PROPERTY_ID> is the Google Analytics property id to use for a query.
+
+Note: you need to have the Google Analytics Data API enabled in your project
+prior to running this sample. Please visit the following URL and make sure the
+API is enabled:
+
+https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/analyticsdata.googleapis.com
+
+This application demonstrates the usage of the Analytics Data API using
+service account credentials. For more information on service accounts, see
+
+https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-service-accounts
+
+The following document provides instructions on setting service account
+credentials for your application:
+
+  https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production
+
+In a nutshell, you need to:
+1. Create a service account and download the key JSON file.
+
+https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#creating_a_service_account
+
+2. Provide service account credentials using one of the following options:
+- set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable, the API
+client will use the value of this variable to find the service account key
+JSON file.
+
+https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#setting_the_environment_variable
+
+OR
+- manually pass the path to the service account key JSON file to the API client
+by specifying the keyFilename parameter in the constructor:
+https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#passing_the_path_to_the_service_account_key_in_code
+
+To install the latest published package dependency, execute the following:
+  pip install google-analytics-data
