Can you tell me how to access campaign performance report its return object

[ntdm...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have seen many forums where when accessing campaign_performance_report then are downoading the query result to a file(csv/txt..).

I would like to know using selector how can i access the campaign_performance_report and what is the class which can be used to access clicks, impressions etc instead of downloading.

Please let me know the sample code to fetch the details into an object instead of downloading.

Hello,

The Supported Download Formats are explained in the documentation.

Do you mean returning the data and displaying in a browser rather than downloading a file?

Thanks

Hi,

As Alan says, the only formats supported while downloading report are the ones listed here. If you are looking for a response similar to CampaignService, I'm afraid it's not possible when downloading reports. You could download the report in XML format and use a parser to read the required data.

Hi,

In the Java client library, the ReportDownloadResponse is a holder class for http status and response body for a successful request. This object has the getAsString method, which returns the contents of the response as a String. It inflates the response if it is in one of the gzip formats. 

You can also access the InputStream via getInputStream method, and use this stream to display data in your application as needed. I'm afraid its not possible to download data in formats other than the ones listed here.

Can you provide some sample code

Hi,

You can retrieve the InputStream and use the Guava I/O utilities to read the response from the InputStream as follows:

      ReportDownloadResponse response =

          new ReportDownloader(session).downloadReport(reportDefinition);

      

      CharSource source = new CharSource() {

        @Override

        public Reader openStream() throws IOException {

          return new InputStreamReader(response.getInputStream());

        }

      };

      ImmutableList<String> report = source.readLines();

You can use InputStream to store or display the contents as needed.
