Re: Report query result via API doesn't match with AdWords UI

2018-04-13 Thread 'Bharani Cherukuri (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum 
Hello, 

We were able to take a look at the discrepancy you mentioned. Please find 
my response below:

1. I was able to download a report for Apr 2,2018 - Apr 8, 2018. I see that 
the number of rows in API is 21978, and segmenting the exact same fields in 
the UI are 22032. The stats for all the segmented fields match in both the 
report types. However, I see that the number of rows in UI is greater than 
the ones in API. This is because of the AdWords Express Campaigns which are 
included in the UI Reports. These Campaigns can only appear in the Campaign 
Performance Report. Please refer to this blog post 

 for 
more information. If you're still experiencing the discrepancy, please 
share the complete reports along with the date range, so I can take a look. 

2. Please note the reports generated by AdWords API use the same naming 
convention as UI Reports. The number of rows and data collection techniques 
might be different for both UI and API. The stats pulled through API 
reports, however, should match the stats in the UI. The reports pulled 
through the API can be compared to the downloaded report from that view. 

Let me know if you have any other questions

Regards,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

Re: Report query result via API doesn't match with AdWords UI

2018-04-13 Thread Khoa Nguyen 
Thanks Bharani for the useful information. I thought the AdWords API maps 
to the report using Report Editor but now I know that it matches the one in 
the AdWords dashboard 
(https://adwords.google.com/aw/?ocid). However, 
about in-matching results of API call & UI, I would like to ask 2 questions:

1. With the same report query: "SELECT Id, CampaignName, AdGroupName, 
Clicks, Impressions, Ctr, AverageCpc, Cost, Conversions, 
ViewThroughConversions, CostPerConversion, ConversionRate FROM 
AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING LAST_WEEK" now returns 21978 rows (API), but 
when I use the AdWords UI (https://adwords.google.com/aw/ads?ocid=...), it 
shows only 21246 rows. Note that I selected ALL Campaign status, ALL Group 
status and ALL Ad status already. Similar thing happens for AdGroup 
Performance or Campaign Performance reports. For example, I found that the 
API result contains some campaign names which I couldn't find them on the 
UI:

< AWN_001:013edd3b_013edef8
< AWN_001:013edd3b_013ef211
< AWX_001:013edd3b_013edef8
< AWX_001:013edd3b_013edef8_content
< AWX_001:013edd3b_013ef211
< AWX_001:013edd3b_013ef211_content

Am I missing something? Is there any hidden filter on AdWords UI that 
causes this? I would like to know them all as we rely on the AdWords UI to 
compare it with the result of our API call. 

2. I found that the AdWords Report Editor works differently from API call 
on the same Attributes, Segments & Metrics. For example, if I use AdWords 
Report Editor to select row keys (Ad Id, Year), and metrics (Clicks, 
Impressions), the result seems to be aggregated by Year and the number of 
rows gets reduced significantly. Whereas, in the API call's result using Ad 
Performance Report, there are about the same number of Ad items (~21978 
rows). Is there any way to build query using API so that the result can 
match with the one in Report Editor UI?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Report query result via API doesn't match with AdWords UI

2018-04-12 Thread 'Bharani Cherukuri (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum 
Hello, 

I was able to take a look at the discrepancy you're noticing. The AdWords 
API have similar naming conventions as UI reports. However, the stats 
pulled through the API map to the corresponding Ads tab metrics in the UI. 
Please refer to this guide 
 on how 
API reports are mapped in the UI. 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

Report query result via API doesn't match with AdWords UI

2018-04-12 Thread khoa 
Hi AdWords API support team,

It seems the result of report query by API and AdWords UI is different:
- With the following report query: 
SELECT Id, CampaignName, AdGroupName, Clicks, Impressions, Ctr, AverageCpc, 
Cost, Conversions, ViewThroughConversions, CostPerConversion, ConversionRate
FROM AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING LAST_WEEK

In the AdWords UI (I used predefined "Basic / Ad" report), it shows 21240 
rows whereas the API returns 21972 rows. I found that there are some Ids in 
the API result not found in the AdWords UI.
- With this report query (add Year segment):

SELECT Id, CampaignName, AdGroupName, Year, Clicks, Impressions, Ctr, 
AverageCpc, Cost, Conversions, ViewThroughConversions, CostPerConversion, 
ConversionRate
FROM AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING LAST_WEEK

In the AdWords UI, once I add "Year" to the row key, it shows 222 rows 
whereas the API still returns 21972 rows and the "Year" column all contains 
"2018" value

Do you have any idea why it's like that?

Thank you.
