DISPLAY_TOPICS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT returning odd values for ID/criteriaID column

[Tex Russky]

Does the DISPLAY_TOPICS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT return the ID of a Vertical in the  ID/criteriaID column?

I see  "Sports" in Criteria/topic column, but instead of 20 for the ID (see Verticals definition), I get 1150158417. This does not look like a Vertical ID. It looks like a Campaign/Ad Group -specific ID for a Criteria. Unfortunately, this is a TrueView campaign so I can't use a service endpoint to see what this ID represents, can I?

This sure looks like AdWords for Video Id !?

Hello,

You should be able to get the Id of the Topic, which is found from the Verticals reference page, by using the Critieria field from the Display Topics Performance Report. 

You will see it returned in this format: 

docvertical::20

As you mentioned previously, the Id you were being returned refers to the Criteria Id, which can be found in the UI.

Cheers,

Anthony
