Iteration of metrics [PHP]

[Floyd van der weij]

I have ran into an issue where i have am able to get the Data out of Campaigns and adgroups

But i cannot seem to figure out where the functions of metrics are stored.

I know that for campaign, its like Campaign.php
Ads adgroups.php

but there are not any for metrics or atleast in general

Hi Floyd,

Thank you for reaching out. The statistical metrics are only available via the reporting when you query on a specific resource such as the campaign resource. These data are not retrievable by directly calling methods of the services.

Thanks and regards,

Alright thank you ^^.

But.. Then i am running into the next thing.

I called the query : SELECT campaign.* FROM Campaign where campaign.id = $ID;

(Select campaign.* doesnt work in the app ofcourse but this is purely for shortening purposes for the forum)

after that i called the campaign :
$campaign = $Element->GetCampaign(); 

so i got data returned without metrics [I call that Standard Data]

then i added metrics.* to the query to get [Metrics Data]
But.... my data diddnt change.
Am i missing anything?

my code is under here with pictures

Hi Floyd,

Thank you for reaching out. To get the metrics you are supposed to use $googleAdsRow->getMetrics()->getImpressions().

Hi Floyd,

You can reach out to the PHP client library owners, via this link, for further assistance on how to generate a report using PHP.

Once your PHP code is ready, you can enable logging and run your query. You may also note that you would need to use a client account ID as the customer-id when running reports.

If you are still unable to retrieve results, you may provide your customer ID, and the complete request and response logs, so our team can investigate further. You may then send the requested details using the Reply privately to author option.

Hi Floyd,

Could you confirm if you have already enabled logging? If yes, could you retry your request and also share the generated request and response logs? Requesting these details so our team can also investigate the issue on our end.

You may send the requested details using the Reply privately to author option. Should this option be unavailable, you may send the details to our (googleadsa...@google.com) alias instead.

The Metrics works,

but i have went to the PHP Libary to ask about the Metrics.

only i dont exactly know what im probably asking
but i want to call ALL the metrics

I know thats with $Element ->GetMetrics()
But i get Protected Objects Returned that i want to call.
only i cant figure out where the functions are where to call those functions

i have seen examples with only 3  examples

$metrics->getImpressions();
$metrics->getClicks();
$metrics->getCostMicros();

BUT where are the other ones.

Hi Floyd,

Could you confirm if the main concern is about accessing the metrics you included in your query using PHP? If yes, then you may continue your discussion with the PHP client library owners instead.

In addition, to ensure as well that you are not encountering issues with the API's reporting, could you confirm if your requests are not returning any errors?

If errors are being returned or if there are no data being returned at all, or if there are discrepancies, you may provide the complete request and response logs so our API team can investigate further.

uhm after a weekend taking a break. 
i just figured it out.

it was simple, in my previous questions i asked if there was something like a metrics file in the libary.
but neither this forum or the API libary gave me a straight answer.

But in the Libary there is a metrics.php that uses 

use Google\Protobuf\Internal\GPBType;
use Google\Protobuf\Internal\RepeatedField;
use Google\Protobuf\Internal\GPBUtil;

and ofcourse its own namespace : namespace Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V6\Common;

the sollution was just to include these and it was good.
and find the metrics.php file.

im sorry if i come over a little agitated but its just something, i diddnt think of before.

anyhow i found it.

ill create a new post if i need help. so you can close this one
