How to get historic bid and budget

[Yuan]

Hi there,

Hope you're doing well! 

I'm having some trouble in getting historic bid and budget with campaign_budget.amount_micros and campaign.target_cpa.target_cpa_micros. No matter what segments.date I set, they always give me the current budget and bid. Can you suggest a proper way to get historic data? I'm using the campaign report.

Thanks,

Hi Yuan,

Thank you for reaching out. This is actually intended behavior to only provide the current budget and bid data via these resource queries. For the change status, you could try to query the change_status resource. However, it could only provide some limited change data.

Hi Xiaoming,

Thanks for your response. 

From my perspective, the historical bid and budget data can be useful to advertisers for setting/adjusting the budget and the bid. Especially when start a new campaign, with these data in hands, we can have a better sense of what bid and budget to set in order to get X daily installs. Hope google would consider providing these information!

Best,
