Missing app download campaigns from GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

[Umberto Poli]

Hello, 

we are using the AdWords API to access these two reports:

• CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
  
• GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
  

From the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT everything is received as expected; instead from the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT the app download campaigns are missing.

It seems like the app download don't have the physical location of our users, but in the Google Ads UI we can see them. 

Why are they missing? Are we doing something wrong?

Here's the piece of Python that handles the request:

# REPORT BY REGION

        # Create report definition.
        report = {
            'reportName': 'Last 7 days GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
            'dateRangeType': 'LAST_7_DAYS',
            'reportType': 'GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
            'downloadFormat': 'CSV',
            'selector': {
                'fields': [
                    'CampaignId', 'CampaignName', 'Date', 'CountryCriteriaId',
                    'RegionCriteriaId', 'IsTargetingLocation', 'LocationType', 'Device', 'Impressions', 'Clicks', 'Cost'
                ],
                'predicates': [
                    {
                        'field': 'IsTargetingLocation',
                        'operator': 'IN',
                        'values': [True, False]
                    },
                    {
                        'field': 'LocationType',
                        'operator': 'EQUALS',
                        'values': ['LOCATION_OF_PRESENCE']
                    }
                ]
            }
        }

        google_csv = io.StringIO()

        report_downloader.DownloadReport(
            report, google_csv, skip_report_header=True, skip_column_header=False,
            skip_report_summary=True, include_zero_impressions=False
        )

        google_csv.seek(0)

        google_device_dataset = pd.read_csv(google_csv, sep=',', encoding='utf8')

        google_device_dataset['Cost'] = google_device_dataset['Cost'].apply(lambda x: float(x) / 1000000.0)

Thanks for your help!

Hi Umberto,

App campaigns are not included in all of the reports in AdWords API, including the Geo Performance Report. Here is a list of all the report types it supports.
