I am downloading the search performance report and everything seems fine except that there are no "[]" within the field KeywordTextMatchingQuery for exact matches. Is there anything different between API and manual UI download report?  I see those within the report if I download it from the UI.

SEARCH_PERFORMANCE_REPORT_30DAY = {
'reportName': 'Yesterday search performance report',
'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE',
'reportType': 'SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
'downloadFormat': 'CSV',
'selector': {
'dateRange': {'min':'20160717','max':'20160717'},
'fields': [
'AccountDescriptiveName', # account
'Date', # time_stamp
'Query', # query
'QueryMatchTypeWithVariant', # match_type
'AdGroupName', # ad_group
'CampaignName', # campaign
'KeywordTextMatchingQuery', # keyword_text
'Clicks', # click
'Impressions', # impression
'Cost', # cost
'Conversions', # conversion
]
}
}

Hi Raghu,

This is intended behavior for the API reports. If you would like to get the match type of the keyword, you can use the field QueryMatchTypeWithVariant. There are some minor changes with UI and API reports such as field names.

Please let me know if you have any other issues.

Cheers,
Anthony
