"Device" not compatible with "Days to conversion"

[Maria Ravander]

Hi Google Ads API team,

We're looking into your new Google Ads API and it seems like the fields "device" and "conversion_lag_bucket" aren't compatible in the Ad Group Ad report. They are however compatible in the Adwords API, is this something you plan to fix? It doesn't say anything in your documentation here or here that these fields are incompatible. 

Query for Adwords that generates data:

SELECT Device, ConversionLagBucket FROM AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING 20200501,20200510 

Corresponding query for Google Ads:

SELECT segments.device, segments.conversion_lag_bucket FROM ad_group_ad WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2020-05-01' AND '2020-05-10' ,  

that generates the error message: FaultMessage: The following pairs of fields may not be selected together: 'segments.conversion_lag_bucket' and 'segments.device'

Hi,

Not sure if you've misunderstood what the problem is but Adwords is actually working fine. It looks like the link you sent is to a client library for Adwords but it is actually Google Ads API that is problematic. We are querying the same dimensions from both APIs but in Google Ads we can't fetch those parameters mentioned above together and that's when we get that error. We are not using any client library for our requests to Adwords but is rather doing http requests directly. For google Ads we are using this library: https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python but the query string we are sending in is the one mentioned above. So the question is why is it not possible to fetch Device and Conversion Lag Bucket in the same query when using Google Ads API? Hope that was more clear.

Hi David,

I appreciate your patience. As i previously mentioned, please look at the segments reference doc for these fields. Then, look for these two fields, and look at the 'selectable with' list. You'll see that these two segments based on that documentation are not selectable with each other. you'll see that these are not compatible with each other. This is working as expected.This is the latest update there is no further update. Once we will receive any update from the team we will get back to you.

Thanks,
