Hi,

I am fetching 'Cost' from CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT but none of my result is matching with UI.

Cost field in UI is showing Rs.821 but in API response there are multiple responses of same campaign name and none of them are matching.

I am considering the Campaign Id in URL of ads.google.com and CampaignId of API are same.

Hi Siddhartha,

Thanks for posting your concern.

My apologies as it is currently not possible to map the downloaded data of the Criteria Performance Report to the Google Ads UI. This said, I would not recommend comparing the data between the said report and UI. Additionally, you can refer to this documentation so see the list of report types that you can map to UI.

Furthermore, the data/statistics are aggregated at the ad group criteria level, one row per ad group and criteria combination. With this reason, you will retrieve multiple campaigns with the same name where the ad groups belong.

Let me know if this will help.

Regards,
Ejay
