How can we get "Unique viewers by cookie" from Campaign Performance Report?

[Akiko Matsuzawa]

Hi team,

I need to know how to get  "Unique viewers by cookie" of Reach and frequency from Campaign Performance Report.

We could find ImpressionReach/Unique cookies out from the report, but we could not find "Unique viewers by cookie" in the reference.

If it is not provided via API, is there any way to calculate?

Hi Akiko,

You are right to use ImpressionReach in your Campaign Performance Report. As per the docs, ImpressionReach would let you know the number of Unique Cookies that were served to your over a certain period of time. 

Do let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

Hi Akiko,

You can look at the way our sample apps does to get reports to understand how this is done. For example, using the Java client library, you can use our DownloadCriteriaReport class to download any reports in general.

In your case, change this to - 

reportDefinition.setReportType(ReportDefinitionReportType.CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT);

This would give you the Campaign Performance Report, Next you need to add the required ImpressionReach parameter. This is done here - 

Selector selector = new Selector();
selector.getFields().addAll(Lists.newArrayList("ImpressionReach", others...));

This would download your Campaign Performance Report and include the Unique Viewers by Cookie parameter (ImpressionReach).

Hi,

How can we get Unique viewers and not unique cookies from the API?

Hi there,

While there is not direct way to achieve this from the AdWords API, you can use Google Analytics to get the Unique Viewers. You need to link your AdWords account with Google Analytics and you go through this blog post to understand how this is done.

So you mean to say that I have to access this metric from google analytics api rather than Adwords api? 

My AdWords account is already linked with GA and i can see the unique viewers in the adwords page, just not able to access it through the API

Hi there,

As this method comes under the purview of Analytics, would you mind posting the same query with Google Analytics API Support?

Hi Veer,

When I tried to what you suggested I cant get all the impressionsReach for all the campaigns at once from the API. I'm using python to extract the same. Could you suggest a way as to how I can extract the reach and frequency of all the campaigns under an account.

Hi Nabeelah,

Since this is an old post, would you mind creating a new one with your issue? This will make the issue easier to track.
