Hi,

Can you explain the differences between GeographicView and LocationView?

Beside some specific fields (like Device / Ad_network_type), I couldn't understand when to use each of them.

If I wish to pull data broken down by Country, which should I choose?

Thanks,

Omri

Hello Omir,

The GeographicView resource is equivalent to the Geo Performance Report in AdWords API which will return data at the country/territory level, one row per country/territory. The LocationView resource is equivalent to the Campaign Location Target Report in the AdWords API which aggregates campaigns by location-based CampaignCriterion.

If you wish to pull country level data you will have to use the GeographicView resource. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bharani, Google Ads API Team
