          HIGHER_PRECISION - Returns a more accurate response using a large sample size, but this may result in the response being slower.
      segment: string, An Analytics segment to be applied to data.
      start_index: integer, An index of the first entity to retrieve. Use this parameter as a pagination mechanism along with the max-results parameter.
