googleAds:search account manager

[Giuseppe Pandolfino]

Hi,
to migrate from Google AdWords, I am trying to get the same information using Ads API.

I need to get the same structure that was used by of https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/adgroup-performance-report and I set a query like this:
"SELECT customer.id,segments.date,campaign.id,ad_group.id,segments.device,metrics.impressions,metrics.clicks,metrics.cost_micros,metrics.conversions,metrics.top_impression_percentage FROM ad_group WHERE segments.date BETWEEN 'yyyy-mm-dd' AND ' yyyy-mm-dd '" that cover what I need.

I test the result using https://googleads.googleapis.com/v9/customers/MYCUSTOMEID/googleAds:search
.

I need to use my admin customer id but i can't because you receive "Metrics cannot be requested for a manager account. To retrieve metrics, issue separate requests against each client account under the manager account".

I have more than 300+ client account, I can't call 300times the api...

Exists another way using REST to obtain the result?

Hi Giuseppe,

Unfortunately for you, The Ads API can only pull metrics reports on production accounts and not on MCC accounts with the included sub accounts. We recommend you use one of our client libraries to automate the report pulls, we have a Get Account Hierarchy sample application for all our client libraries to harvest account the hierarchy of accounts and this can be used by our sample Parallel Report Download in some client libraries  that can be modified easily to pull any report from many accounts. If you can automate REST it may also work. 

Could you tell us how you are managing with just REST when you have so many accounts in the hierarchy? Could you tell us also in business terms how this lack of cross account reporting is affecting you?

Hi Giuseppe,

Please note that the AdWords API is deprecated and will be sunset on April 27, 2022. We strongly recommend that you migrate to the Google Ads API as soon as possible.
