detail_placement_view metrics.impressions incorrect

[David Baruch]

Hi

I am trying to pull placements level report from detail_placement_view.

Seems like the impressions metrics does not match with the UI reports, there is a substantial difference 2-3 X - compare to UI reports - placements, campaigns.

Other metrics do match (e.g clicks, conversions, cost_micros)

Please advice.

Hi David,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For our team to further investigate and provide appropriate recommendations to you, could you please provide the following information below?:

• Complete API logs (request and response with request-id) generated on your end
• Entire UI screenshot without cropping where you can see the expected data you want to retrieve in the API

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead

Furthermore, in comparing UI and API data, please make sure to consider the following items below:

• Comparing the API and UI on the same level as much as possible
• The segments and fields of the API and UI should be the same
• The date range is also the same

Best regards,

Heidi Google Ads API Team

One more thing we also managed to reproduce the impressions discrepancy executing the queries via ads script:

detail_placement_view : Date [2023-01-29] => sumOfImpr 49974 , sumOfClicks 2937
group_placement_view : Date [2023-01-29] => sumOfImpr 132812 , sumOfClicks 2627

Account (MCC) : 477-344-4588

Script Name: Placement group_placement_view vs detail_placement_view

Please advise
