I noticed that the total impressions in the group_placement_view does not match the total impressions for an account. In the UI (where ads showed), this difference shows up as the "Total: Other" row. Is this data available elsewhere?

I found an answer that states these are anonymous: https://support.google.com/google-ads/thread/151204084?hl=en&msgid=151293253

However, I wanted to make sure there wasn't another google ads resource that contains this other data.

Thanks!

Hi Troy,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API team. I hope you are doing well today.

With regards to your concern, please note that the Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. Meaning that if the data is not available in the Google Ads UI, then it is expected that it is also not available in the Google Ads API.

However, to further help with your issue, you mention that you noticed that the total impressions in the group_placement_view do not match the total impressions for an account. With this, could you provide the full screenshot of this in the Google Ads UI and the complete request and response logs with the request ID and request header generated on your end? If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client Libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

You can provide it via Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Regards,

Darwin
