Hello Sebastian, I'm jumping in here because I've worked quite a bit with these services before. They are a bit funky sometimes. I'm going to have to give you a bit of background to explain what's going on. As you've noticed, our UI has changed recently for our product. Also, we're bringing a new API online as we're going from AdWords API <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start> to Google Ads API <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start> (currently in beta). The old UI behaved very similar to our old AdWords API, and our new Google Ads API will behave very similar to the new UI. Now, I'll explain what's going on.
The new UI allows you to pick date ranges as to when to forecast. You probably noticed that in our API today there isn't an option to do that. It just max and min data over a 7 day time period. Of course in a new APi we would want to give more flexibility, but the new API has not been built, yet. So, in the meantime, the exact data that you're seeing in the new UI can't be reproduced in the old API. The flexibility isn't there. It's not a one to one mapping. Since we can't specify a date range, we can't ask for the total over a specific date range. That's why your numbers are off. We're moving towards a better interface, and we're building out the new API as fast as we can. Keep an eye out on our blog <https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/> for more updates as the new API comes online and we introduce functionality to allow you to reproduce what you're seeing in the new UI more easily. Until then, unfortunately, you can't perfectly get those two interfaces to perfectly match.
