I am using the rails client api, and having issues while requesting multiple metrics. If I pass one metric I get a report.

       'metric' =>['EARNINGS'],
       'dimension' => "MONTH"
          }
   })

However if I pass in multiple metrics, my report is empty. 

result = api_client.execute({
    :api_method => adsense.reports.generate,
     :parameters => {'startDate'=> @start_date, 'endDate' => @end_date, 'accountId' => @id, 
       'metric' =>['CLICKS','PAGE_VIEWS','PAGE_VIEWS_CTR','PAGE_VIEWS_RPM','EARNINGS'],
       'dimension' => "MONTH"
          }
   })

I read a similar bug in the PHP library which appears to be fixed now and was wondering if this is a bug, or I am doing something silly that is preventing me from getting a report.  Thanks!

Hi there,

This problems looks like a bug in the Ruby client library and it has already been reported

http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ruby-client/issues/detail?id=69 

Just for clarification: there are some metrics and dimensions that you can't mix. The quickest way to know if a combination makes sense is trying it with the APIs explorer. An error will trigger:

 - a 400 Bad Request response, or

 - a 200 OK response containing a warning field. 

If you use the APIs explorer to generate a report using the metrics and dimensions from David's post, the report is generated and there are no warnings nor errors. Combining dimensions "AD_UNIT_CODE" and "CUSTOM_CHANNEL_CODE" will return a "400 Bad Request" response.

Cheers!

Jose

A list of valid and/or invalid combinations would be a good addition to the documentation.
