Google ads query adgroup

[Jonathan Moura]

Hi,

Is there anyway to query Google Ads and see what the spend is for an ad group proactively?

So instead of counting the spend based on the inbound clicks and subtracting, we would just go read and ad group every x minutes and get the updated spend and click count

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Upon checking your concern, I understand that you are looking for guidance to retrieve the cost and click data from an ad_group using the Google Ads API. I would recommend you to kindly refer to the ad_group resource to retrieve the data within the Google Ads API. Please find the sample GAQL query as per your requirement:

SELECT ad_group.id, ad_group.name, ad_group.status, metrics.cost_micros, metrics.clicks FROM ad_group

You can utilize the search or searchStream methods and try making the API request to retrieve the cost and click data. Additionally, you can utilize the Google Ads Query Builder and Query Validator to build and validate the queries for retrieving the data from the Google Ads API.
