Like the local data approach, but was surprised to read for at least the Google Analytics option your OAuth token is routed through Radar services (even if it’s use is then local), which feels a bit of a bummer when the effort was otherwise there to be all local.

I can understand your concern. But, I need to comply with Google APIs Terms of Service. https://developers.google.com/terms#b_confidential_matters

That’s a fair point, I forgot you had to use a token on your end too to make the flow work; thanks for your reply.
