Hi, while migrating from the Adwords API to the Ads API we stumbled on an issue. In the Adwords API the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT used to be a single attribution report, see https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting#single_and_multiple_attribution . This means that we could simply get the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for all criteria types and aggregate on account, campaign or ad group level to get the overall account, campaign or ad group performance (i.e. overall clicks, impressions, conversions etc.).
On the Ads API, the replacement for the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is the criteria_view which turned into a multiple attribution data source, see https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/migration/reports#attribution . This means even if we try to retrieve for each criteria type its performance via the criteria_view (as described here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/JSvsPy9MYYY/C4KP1kn7BgAJ ), we can't replicate the feature from the Adwords API to determine overall account, ad group or campaign performance based on the criteria performance data only - due to multiple attribution, we'd count KPI values several times, leading to wrong results. I wonder how an overall account, campaign or ad group performance can be aggregated from criteria performance data retrieved from the Ads API - so something similar to how it worked with single attribution CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT on the Adwords API. Not being able to simply aggregate criteria performance is quite impractical and limits flexibility a lot. I wonder what the best solution (if even possible at all) for this problem is on the Ads API.
