Report > Locations > User locations via Google Ads API and Adwords API

[David García]

Hi all,

In the web UI, there are two types of Locations reports: Geographic and User Locations. The one I use is User locations.

Now, I'm trying two access User locations report via Google Ads API and AdWords API.

QUESTION 1: In Google Ads API there are two resources named geographic_view and user_location_view. Please can you confirm that user_location_view corresponds to User Locations Report in the web UI?

QUESTION 2: In Google Ads API, are metrics.absolute_top_impression_percentage and metrics.top_impression_percentage available on geographic_view/user_location_view? They are available in the web UI but they don't appear in the Google Ads API documentation.

QUESTION 3: In AdWords API, there is only on thing called GEO PERFORMANCE REPORT. If I pull data from that report, how do I know if it corresponds to Geographic report or User Locations report?

QUESTION 4: Currently, I have access to Google Ads API in non test environment, that is, full production. I completed the registration process successfully. In order to get access to AdWords API, do I need to register again as a developer (token, OAuth2, etc) or the current credentials that I have from Google Ads API allow me to use AdWords API too?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

1. Yes, that is correct.
2. These fields are currently not available for either the geographic_view or user_location_view.
3. The Geo Performance Report in AdWords API maps to the Geographic report in the UI
4. You can use the same credentials in both AdWords API and Ads API.

H Anthony,

Thanks for the kind and very useful answer.

Another question please: Is it possible to have more than 10,000 targeted locations in a campaign?

I just found that it is not possible to configure more than 10,000 targeted locations per campaign but I was wondering if after request it is possible to increase that number.

Thanks and regards,

David

Hi David,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the limits. They are same limits as the ones in the Google Ads UI.
