Google Analytics "There was an internal error"

Question

Recent days I am getting "There was an internal error" error message from Google while calling Google Analytics API to get reports data. Previously the same API works fine. Following are the dimensions and metrics we used,

dimensions : ga:campaign,ga:adGroup,ga:keyword,ga:adContent,ga:date
metrics : ga:sessions,ga:bounces,ga:impressions,ga:adClicks,ga:adCost,ga:transactions,ga:RPC

When I remove the metrics parameter it's working fine. Can't figure out why this metrics value causes problem. Below is the full error message which I am facing

{
"error":{
"errors":[
{
"domain":"global",
"reason":"internalError",
"message":"There was an internal error."
}
],
"code":500,
"message":"There was an internal error."
}
}

what happens if you send the same request again? I normally do a retry on this error. IMO its a server hiccup Can you post your code? — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Dec 09 '14 at 14:52
I tried many times it's showing the same error. I am using Analytics rest API https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga . — Barani, Dec 10 '14 at 10:22
For a particular account only I got this kind of error. After few days it was working again. Can't figure out the issue. Thanks for your reply. — Barani, Dec 29 '14 at 17:33

I just encountered the same issue - it turns out that my adblocking extension (uBlock Origin) was interfering with the page. Disabling it resolved the error.
