I'm trying to pull total data specific to each network, for example, impression share for video. However, the API looks to only return "Total- all campaigns" data. Is there another way to grab this data without having to add up each individual campaign's results? This would obviously be an issue when working with percentages.

Hi Connor, 

You could consider using the AdNetworkType1 and AdNetworkType2 fields in a predicate to filter results for different networks and set the skipReportSummary header to false to get the totals for the metrics you are requesting in the report query. With the API you can combine multiple segments in the same report. Please note that the amount of rows can increase exponentially for each additional segment field included in your report.

I'm just trying to get Impression Share for video only, but even doing what you suggested isn't changing the returned results. The issue isn't that I'm not getting totals, it's that I'm only getting totals for ALL campaigns; I need them broken out by Search, Display, and Video. I have AdNetworkType1 and AdNetworkType2 in my query as well.

Hi Connor, 

Could you provide the complete report definition you use along with your clientCustomerId and the totals you receive in the downloaded report so I can take a look? Please use Reply privately to author when responding.
