Accounts under MCC with active campaigns

[Álvaro]

Hi,

Im trying to migrate from Google Scripts to Google Ads API and can't figure out a way of getting all accounts with activity within the last 7 days. Im willing to avoig making requests to video_performance_report on those accounts without delivery.

Google Ads Scripts code:

var accountIterator = AdsManagerApp.accounts()
  .withCondition("Impressions > 0")
  .forDateRange("LAST_7_DAYS")
  .get();

and then I get the report on each account.

What I tried with the API:

$query = 'SELECT customer.id, metrics.impressions, customer.descriptive_name, customer.resource_name FROM customer WHERE metrics.impressions > 0';

but it throws the error "REQUESTED_METRICS_FOR_MANAGER".

Does this mean that I'll need to make a request for each ad account even if some of them have no activity? We have a lot of accounts with activity just a few days every month and we need to get this report on a daily basis.

What would be the best workaround to get this report (VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT) for all ad accounts with activity?

Thank you in advance,

Just updating that i tried also from customer_client:

SELECT customer_client.currency_code, customer_client.descriptive_name, metrics.impressions,

customer_client.id, customer_client.manager, customer_client.time_zone, segments.date

FROM customer_client

WHERE customer_client.manager = False AND segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS AND metrics.impressions > 0

with no success

Hello Álvaro,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

In the Google Ads API's perspective (REQUESTED_METRICS_FOR_MANAGER), metrics cannot be requested for a manager account. To retrieve metrics, issue separate requests against each client account under the manager account. For you to retrieve all accounts, you can refer to this Get Account Hierarchy guide for more details.
