Image ad url discrepancy

[yu...@singular.net]

Hi everyone,

It seems that theres a discrepancy between the API and the ad hoc reports regarding Ad image urls.

When using the API, segmented by adgroups, the image url returns a valid result, however, using the following query:

{

     "reportName" : "AdHoc Campaigns Report",

     "reportType": "AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT",

      "dateRangeType" : "ALL_TIME",

            "selector" : {

                "fields" : ["CampaignId", "Date", "ImageAdUrl", "ImageCreativeName", "Headline", "Description1", "Description2"],

            },

            "includeZeroImpressions": "false",

            "downloadFormat": "CSV",

}

The ImageAdUrl is almost always empty (and urls received through the API request are absent from the report).

A few notes:

It is obvious that the urls are different and the reports / API use different methods to retrieve them (reports return a GUID which should be prefixed with "https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/pageadimg/imgad?id=" and the API return a full and different url path).

Is there any known problem with this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

I have not seen any issues like this come up before. Could you please reply privately to author some Ad Ids and their respective Ad Group Ids so that I can try to replicate these results on my end?

Thanks,

Anthony
