RDA x metrics

[Media Data Creative Lift]

Hi support team,

I am making two requests to the resource ad_group_ad.

- One without segments nor metrics

- One with segments.date and metrics.

When I receive the result of ad_group_ad without metrics requested, I get Responsive Display Ad ads. But with segments + metrics, I don't see them anymore.

Any idea where I can get metrics segmented on date for Responsive Display Ad ?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

I understand your issue, however, you may check the following scenario if it is happening on your end:

 

1. Zero metrics are always excluded when segmenting a report, provided all selected metrics are zero
2. Any segment fields from your select clause in the GAQL query filters tells that segment is telling the query to only get the rows of data said segments fields.

Note that zero metrics campaigns records shown on Ads UI, however, Google Ads API excludes and does not pull when segmenting a report, provided all selected metrics are zero. You may check here for more information. Also, when any segments fields are added to a query with FROM ad_group_ad, that segment is telling the query to only get the rows of data that have said segments field, and remove any row that is not associated. These both scenarios may also affect in combination with each other. That being said, you may double check on your end if for the given dates in a date range, if there are zero metrics for a given date range, then the API doesn't pull the row if the row is segmented and has no metrics for that date range. 

If the above scenario is not happening, then you may provide the following details via reply privately to author option:

• Complete request and response logs with request ID generated for said report
• Complete Ads UI screenshot without cropping showing date filters
