I want to export it to an excel or CSV file so I can run my own algorithms on it. Anyone know an easy way to export the raw data??

Thanks!

I think (and I don't know for sure) that the raw hit data is not available due to your visitors' privacy.

You'd be better off doing processing of your own server logs.

I concur. There's a query explorer here https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/ to download post aggregation data, but never heard of it providing raw data.

If op's planning for the future a number of system exists to collect analytics, but he'll need to correlate views with ga to deanonimize audiences. Not impossible, but not the most convenient and will work only from the implementation day forward

Anyone know of decent, free server side analytics that can maybe export to GA or has an interface similar to GA?

Look into Google BigQuery, it can suck up hit-level data from GA so you can query it how you want. I'd imagine you can export data how you want. Its not free though.
