Parameters
Name	Description
data	array Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ api_name	string A metric name. Useable in Metric's name. For example, eventCount.
↳ ui_name	string This metric's name within the Google Analytics user interface. For example, Event count.
↳ description	string Description of how this metric is used and calculated.
↳ deprecated_api_names	array Still usable but deprecated names for this metric. If populated, this metric is available by either apiName or one of deprecatedApiNames for a period of time. After the deprecation period, the metric will be available only by apiName.
↳ type	int The type of this metric.
↳ expression	string The mathematical expression for this derived metric. Can be used in Metric's expression field for equivalent reports. Most metrics are not expressions, and for non-expressions, this field is empty.
↳ custom_definition	bool True if the metric is a custom metric for this property.
↳ blocked_reasons	array If reasons are specified, your access is blocked to this metric for this property. API requests from you to this property for this metric will succeed; however, the report will contain only zeros for this metric. API requests with metric filters on blocked metrics will fail. If reasons are empty, you have access to this metric. To learn more, see Access and data-restriction management.
↳ category	string The display name of the category that this metrics belongs to. Similar dimensions and metrics are categorized together.
