Different amount of spendings in the account and in the API - why?

[Nikolay Nikolov]

Hi, I am using the Adwords API, to get every day the statistics from yesterday. When I sum the stats for the whole month, then there is a difference between the google account monthly stats and the stats coming from the API. Today I have pulled the whole month again, maybe there are changes, and there is still this difference. I saw the same on another account also. How it is possible, that the API delivers other stats like the real account?

Here the code for the request for the daily stats:

$q = (new ReportQueryBuilder())
    ->select(
        [
            'Id',
            'Date',
            'HeadlinePart1',
            'HeadlinePart2',
            'Description',
            'CreativeFinalUrls',
            'CampaignId',
            'CampaignName',
            'AdGroupId',
            'AdGroupName',
            'Impressions',
            'Clicks',
            'Cost',
            'AverageCpc',
            'Headline'
        ]
    )
    ->from(ReportDefinitionReportType::AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT)
    ->where('Status')->in(['ENABLED', 'PAUSED'])
    ->where('AdNetworkType1')->notIn(['YOUTUBE_SEARCH', 'YOUTUBE_WATCH']);

Thanks

Hey Nik,

Can you please reply privately to author your report definition, report results and screenshots of your UI so I can see if there are any discrepancies?
