I just recieved an e-mail from the Google Analytics support which basically says that my e-mail has been forwarded to the engineering people @ Google. But read for yourself:

Hello Felix,

Thank you for your email. I understand that you are interested in knowing
specifics of using custom built APIs with Google Analytics. I have
forwarded your email to our engineering and I am waiting to hear from
them. I will let you know their stand once I have some information.

For additional questions regarding e-commerce, goals, filters, tracking
and setup questions, please visit the Analytics Help Center at
http://www.google.com/support/analytics. If you're unable to find an
answer to your question on our site, please feel free to reply to this
email.

Sincerely,

Gauri

That is not a huge step, but having an actual person answering a support question at Google makes it look promising. And since it doesn't seem like there is some "no-custom-apis-allowed" rule at Google I think it'll be fine to post a link to an online demo where you can see some Analytics Statistics from thinkingphp.org:

(I've posted this link on #cakephp before so some of you might reagonize the page)

So let's hope I'll get a green light the next couple days so I can release the source code to the public (under MIT license, of course).
