Google Analytics + Foldr Integration
Google Analytics 4 is the de-facto web analytics platform. Send Foldr click events into GA4 via the Measurement Protocol so file downloads become goals and audience-definition signals.
How to Connect Google Analytics to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Google Analytics
Generate or locate your Google Analytics API credentials per Google Analytics's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together

Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.

Google Analytics + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Google Analytics?
You connect Foldr to Google Analytics via REST API. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the REST API integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Google Analytics's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Google Analytics with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Google Analytics — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Google Analytics?
From Google Analytics you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Google Analytics?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Google Analytics through REST API, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
