It also covers a significant authentication change: the searchConsoleR package has been removed from CRAN, requiring installation from GitHub via the remotes package and a new Google Cloud Console project with OAuth 2.0 credentials, combined authentication for both Search Console and GA4 through googleAuthR. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why was the searchConsoleR package removed from CRAN and how do I install it now? The searchConsoleR R package has been removed from CRAN, and there is no full replacement yet. To keep using it, install the older version directly from GitHub using the remotes package with install_github("MarkEdmondson1234/searchConsoleR"). Because the package no longer lives on CRAN, Google authentication no longer links automatically to your project, so you must create a dedicated Google Cloud Console project with its own OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret. _Track ecosystem breakages like package removals on daily.dev before they stall your reporting pipeline._ ### How do I authenticate both Google Analytics 4 and Search Console together in R using googleAuthR? Use the googleAuthR package to authenticate both APIs in a single flow instead of separately. Set options for googleAuthR.client_id and googleAuthR.client_secret from an OAuth 2.0 Desktop app credential created in Google Cloud Console, set googleAuthR.scopes.selected to include both the webmasters and analytics.readonly scopes, then call gar_auth() to open one browser window authorizing both scopes at once. _Developers wiring up multi-API authentication flows can follow evolving Google auth patterns via daily.dev._ ### How do I get AI-generated commentary on analytics data using the OpenRouter API in R? Build a JSON request body with httr and jsonlite specifying a model like anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5, a system message defining the analyst persona, and a user message containing the data summary text. POST it to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions with an Authorization bearer header, then parse the response and extract openRouterResponse$choices$message$content to get the generated commentary text. _Anyone wiring AI commentary into a reporting pipeline can compare API approaches like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [How to Automate SEO Reporting:A Practical Guide for Small Marketing Teams](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-automate-seo-reporting-a-practical-guide-for-small-marketing-teams-0hukko5ax) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Free API Solutions for Automated Google Search](https://daily.dev/posts/free-api-solutions-for-automated-google-search-7k5tkj99p) · ITNEXT · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#r](https://daily.dev/tags/r), [#seo](https://daily.dev/tags/seo), [#google-analytics](https://daily.dev/tags/google-analytics), [#openrouter](https://daily.dev/tags/openrouter) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/r-for-seo-part-10-seo-reporting-with-google-sheets-openrouter-vrri5xlcd) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"R For SEO Part 10: SEO Reporting With Google Sheets & OpenRouter","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/r-for-seo-part-10-seo-reporting-with-google-sheets-openrouter-vrri5xlcd","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/r-for-seo-part-10-seo-reporting-with-google-sheets-openrouter-vrri5xlcd"},"datePublished":"2026-09-03T14:37:08.997Z","dateModified":"2026-09-03T14:41:35.015Z","description":"The final installment of a ten-part R for SEO series walks through building an automated SEO reporting pipeline that pulls Google Analytics 4 data, Google...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--qPvKM23u--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2009","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--qPvKM23u--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2009","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"R-bloggers","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"R-bloggers","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/98bcbbdf72774292a55ceda8f2277f1e","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/rbloggers"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/r-for-seo-part-10-seo-reporting-with-google-sheets-openrouter-vrri5xlcd","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"r,seo,google-analytics,openrouter","timeRequired":"PT24M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"R-bloggers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/rbloggers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"R For SEO Part 10: SEO Reporting With Google Sheets & OpenRouter"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/r-for-seo-part-10-seo-reporting-with-google-sheets-openrouter-vrri5xlcd#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why was the searchConsoleR package removed from CRAN and how do I install it now?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The searchConsoleR R package has been removed from CRAN, and there is no full replacement yet.
