Conversion Measurement API

Google's Conversion Measurement API is designed to provide marketers lack-click attribution.<ref.https://github.com/csharrison/conversion-measurement-api</ref>

Impact

While Google's Conversion Measurement API does have access to granular cross-site event information to properly match conversions on a marketer property to a prior click event, given the lack of access to other events available via Google's Aggregate Reporting API, it cannot support multi-touch or view-through attribution. By eliminating the view-through attribution, marketers will reduce the value they currently associate publishers on which they run upper funnel branding campaigns.
