ga_data <- google_analytics(81416156, 
                            date_range = c("10daysAgo", "yesterday"),
                            metrics = "sessions", dimensions = c("hour","date"))
                            
# if we want totals per hour over the dates:
aggregateGAData(ga_data[,c("hour","sessions")], agg_names = "hour")

# it knows not to sum metrics that are rates:
aggregateGAData(ga_data[,c("hour","bounceRate")], agg_names = "hour")
