Why the result doesn't match with web interface?

Google Reporting API uses "sampling" data.

That means sometimes result will be unmatched with Google Analytics web interface, and the result is based on sampled data, not all of raw data. This is a Google API's limitation.

Currently a sampling level supported by this plugin is DEFAULT only. Let us know if you want to use other sampling level (SMALL or LARGE).
