I am making a script to get google analytics data using API in php. I am able to fetch data through API, using service accounts model. Now I want to restrict that API to only return data, if API calls are made from a specific defined IP. I am unable to find any such setting in Google API console.Is there some way to achieve this goal?

You cant set a service account to only allow access from one IP, you can with Oauth but not with service accounts. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Sep 23 '16 at 10:32

Google Analytics API can not be restricted based on user's IP address using service accounts via the mode of authentication. It can be done if it's done via oAuth2.

It can if you use Oauth2, however not if you use service accounts . Access to an API is controlled via the mode of authentication. APIs don't restrict this. Want to edit your answer please and I will upvote it – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Sep 23 '16 at 10:31
