When operating at different times and downloading the advertising cost of the specified date, the cost data of ADS API is inconsistent with the data downloaded in the interface report. Could you tell me the reason?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

Since you mentioned that when operating at different times and downloading the advertising cost of the specified date, the cost data of Google Ads API is inconsistent with the data downloaded in the interface report, then you may need to consider the details mentioned in the data freshness guide as there might be a delay between Google Ads API viewing it at different times. This is because in the guide it says :

"In most cases, your account statistics (such as clicks, conversions and impressions) are delayed by less than three hours. For example, statistics on the total of all clicks received by 6 p.m. on Friday will usually be available by 9 p.m. Friday night, local time. Conversions attributed using attribution models other than “Last click” are typically delayed up to 15 hours.

Also, some metrics and reports take longer to process or are only calculated once a day (rather than on a continuous basis). Daily processing for some of these reports happens at the same local time in all time zones. Factor in your local time zone to determine when these metrics will be ready.
"

If you’re seeing discrepancies at the same time between those, then you may provide the following details by reply privately to author option:

  • Provide the complete request and response logs with request ID generated as seen in the respective links.
  • Complete screenshots from the UI showing data(containing date filters)
