See the [API Metrics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/api-schema#metrics) for the list of metric names supported by core reporting methods such as `runReport` and `batchRunReports`. See [Realtime Metrics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/realtime-api-schema#metrics) for the list of metric names supported by the `runRealtimeReport` method. See [Funnel Metrics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/data/v1/exploration-api-schema#metrics) for the list of metric names supported by the `runFunnelReport` method. If `expression` is specified, `name` can be any string that you would like within the allowed character set. For example if `expression` is `screenPageViews/sessions`, you could call that metric's name = `viewsPerSession`. Metric names that you choose must match the regular expression `^[a-zA-Z0-9_]$`. Metrics are referenced by `name` in `metricFilter`, `orderBys`, and metric `expression`.",
