Metrics for keyword don't match in UI and API

[Evgeniy Terentyev]

Hi there,

our client complains of discrepancy in data we retrieved from KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.

I've checked one of keywords and found that request returns some values for Cost and Impressions:

POST https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload/v201809?__rdquery=SELECT Criteria, Id, KeywordMatchType, Status, AdNetworkType1, CampaignName, CampaignId, AdGroupName, AdGroupId, Cost, Impressions, Clicks, Interactions, AccountDescriptiveName, ExternalCustomerId, AccountCurrencyCode FROM KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT WHERE Cost>0 AND Criteria="candida cleanse" DURING 20220101,20220131 &__fmt=CSV

But report that the client exported from UI shows only 0 values for these metrics:

Also, I suppose keywords that have square brackets and double quotas in UI (that mean exact and phrase match correspondingly), Adwords API returns without mentioned symbols.

Most of keywords has matching values if apply this rule. Is it right suggestion?

Could you please help me with the described discrepancy?

Hi Evgeniy,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads/AdWords API support with your migration issue. Could you privately provide us with logs of request and response to both the API's when log level is set to 'DEBUG' so that we can see what you are seeing?

In the Ads API, the request and response appears similar to the JSON Mappings in our REST documentation with additional information such as  request ID. Our client libraries have loggers with logging instructions, to see these instructions you can click on the client library you use in the sidebar of our client library guide and click on "Logging”.

In the AdWords API , a request looks like the 3rd section in request and a response looks similar to response. Logging instructions are in the read.me on Github of each client library.

If you are using curl command line, adding '-v' or '-i' should get the log.

Regards,

Aryeh Google Ads API Team
