Adding Filters to Customize Analytics Request

Can you add filters to your UA/GA4 controllers so that developers can customize the request before it get’s sent to google?

For some context, our organization has a large multisite install with about 800+ sites. We track everybody automatically in google analytics by having 1 google account, and all traffic from all sites being recorded in a single “network” view. If ever we need specific information about a particular site, we just filter by the domain used.

This plugin is so close to being usable by us. If I could just have a couple of wp filters that would allow me to add ga filter parameters, then I could have 1 single network wide account, with each subsite displaying data for just itself (instead of displaying data for the entire network).

For example, for this bit of code here.

// Found in: wp-content/plugins/beehive-analytics/core/modules/google-analytics/endpoints/v1/class-stats.php on line 63

// Get the stats.
$stats = $analytics->data_realtime->get(
	'ga:' . $this->account,
	'rt:activeUsers',
	array(
		'dimensions' => 'rt:deviceCategory',
	)
);

it would be amazing if there was a filter that allowed me to add ga filters to the request, like this instead.

$optParams = apply_filters('beehive_ua_realtime_params', [
	'dimensions' => 'rt:deviceCategory',
]);
try {
// Get the stats.
$stats = $analytics->data_realtime->get(
	'ga:' . $this->account,
	'rt:activeUsers',
	$optParams
);

Ideally something like that would be added to all controller endpoints that make a google analytics api request, so that developers can modify the request.
