Data cannot be compared

[OU L]

  Hello, on June 30th, I used C# to execute a GAQL query and pulled the data for that day into the database. Later, on July 10th, I compared the June 30th data in the database with the data on Google Ads, and they did not match. The impressions, clicks, and costs were incorrect. What could be causing this issue, and what would you recommend to handle this situation? This discrepancy is causing our program-generated reports to be inaccurate.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Upon reviewing your concern, I understand that you are experiencing a discrepancy between the data pulled into your database via GAQL query and the data in Google Ads in your account. To assist you better, please provide the following details for further investigation:

• Complete UI screenshot of the issue along with some description
• Complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header)

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
