GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT missing fields

[Anton Georgiev]

I'm trying to retrieve the universities of the users coming to my website using the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT but this doesn't seem to work as expected. The version of the API I'm using is v201502. I'm using Awql to download the report in CSV format.

When I made a request using none of the required fields, I got the following response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><reportDownloadError><ApiError><type>SelectorError.MISSING_FIELDS</type><trigger>Must choose at least 1 field from the group [CountryCriteriaId, CustomFeatureCriteriaId, CustomOtherCriteriaId, CustomCountryCriteriaId, CustomRegionCriteriaId, CustomTerritoryCriteriaId, CustomProvinceCriteriaId, CustomStateCriteriaId, CustomPrefectureCriteriaId, CustomGovernorateCriteriaId, CustomCantonCriteriaId, CustomUnionTerritoryCriteriaId, CustomAutonomousCommunityCriteriaId, CustomDMARegionCriteriaId, CustomMetroCriteriaId, CustomCongressionalDistrictCriteriaId, CustomCountyCriteriaId, CustomMunicipalityCriteriaId, CustomCityCriteriaId, CustomPostalCodeCriteriaId, CustomDepartmentCriteriaId, CustomAirportCriteriaId, CustomTVRegionCriteriaId, CustomOkrugCriteriaId, CustomBoroughCriteriaId, CustomCityRegionCriteriaId, CustomArrondissementCriteriaId, CustomNeighborhoodCriteriaId, CustomUniversityCriteriaId, CustomDistrictCriteriaId]</trigger><fieldPath></fieldPath></ApiError></reportDownloadError>

I found that there's a field called "CustomUniversityCriteriaId" in this list but when I try to use it, I'm getting an error that this field is invalid:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><reportDownloadError><ApiError><type>ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT</type><trigger></trigger><fieldPath>CustomUniversityCriteriaId</fieldPath></ApiError></reportDownloadError>

When I use "CountryCriteriaId", "CityCriteriaId" or "RegionCriteriaId" everything works fine.

I can't find information about the field "CustomUniversityCriteriaId" in the docs but having in mind the response from the API, it looks like this field exists.

Do you know if we can actually use this field (and the other fields except CountryCriteriaId, CityCriteriaId and RegionCriteriaId) or they are not yet implemented?

Thanks,
Anton

Hi Anton,

We are aware of the problem with the error message you mentioned and we are working on it. You can simply include the CountryCriteriaId field in your request to avoid the error.
