When will YouTube placement Urls be available again?

[tho...@matthewdean.co.uk]

Hey guys,

Hope you are well.

I was asking in reference to the blog post on the 17th October ('Changes to the URL Performance Report for YouTube video placements') which announced that the url performance report would exclude data from YouTube but that this would be rectified in a later version of the API. Three questions -  any idea when this will happen? Will it be available in Google Ads Scripts too at this time? Is there any way of pulling the YouTube video / channel id's until this happens?

Best,

Tom

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately, I cannot provide a comment on when will this be supported in the Google Ads API. Currently, there are no workaround solutions to pull YouTube video placements in the URL Performance Report.

As for your question if it will be supported in Google Ads Scripts, you could open your concern to the Google Ads Scripts Forum as their team is better equipped to address your concern.

I too am looking for an answer to this.  We are building some key features around this functionality and missed the blog post - and have been banging out heads wondering what we were doing wrong.

Hi Thomas,

In reports, if you wish to pull the YouTube channel, you may use only the VideoChannelId field of the Video Performance Report. Based on the mapping guide under "Automatic Placements Report", the equivalent report in the API for Placements -> Where your ads showed is the Automatic Placements Performance Reports. The update does not affect this report, so you will still be able to pull the YouTube Placements in this report.

@Steve - Currently, there is no workaround solution on how to pull YouTube video placements in the URL Performance Report.

Hi Dannison,

The Video Performance Report doesn't help as the channel it is showing is my own channel not the channel where my ads are apprearing

I've actually tried using the Automatic Placement Performance Report and it doesn't seem possible to recreate what one sees in interface by navigating to 'Placements -> Where you ads showed'.

When pulling the Automatic Placement Report from the API the domain and display name are set to 'youtube.com' for every placement; in the interface it is possible to see the name of the channel (e.g 'PewDiePie' or 'AtGoogleTalks')

Is there something I am missing?

Another way of putting this would be -

Assuming my ads for the brand 'Nike' are appearing on the channel 'PewDiePie' what AWQL query would give me a report where the entry for one column was 'PewDiePie' or 'UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw' (the channelId for PewDiePie)?

Hello Google Ads Team,

is there any new help regarding this reporting question?

Where can i pull the informations from where ads where shown for youtube channels? I am not able to find the data from Placements -> Where you ads showed for automatic placements on youtube. It is neccessary for reporting and quality checks.

Best,

Robert

Hi Robert,

In Google Ads API perspective, the equivalent of the URL Performance Report is the detail_placement_view. You can use the detail_placement_view.placement_type field to get YOUTUBE related placements by selecting YOUTUBE_CHANNEL and YOUTUBE_VIDEO. You can refer to this guide on how to download reports in the Google Ads API. 

Let me know if you have further clarifications.

Dannison
