I have developed an Android App for an organization, which has Universal App Campaigns to promote installs. In the app, I have set up the Google Referrer API Library and I can fetch successfully the URL of the campaign which is something like this {url}?gclid={gclid}. Given that I have the gclid is it possible to retrieve the campaign's information somehow in the app?

Hi Efthimis,

Thanks for reaching out. With regards to your concern about to retrieve the campaign's information from gclid, You can use Click performance report with gclid field and you can get the campaign id from the click performance report but in this case it wont return the proper campaign id cause its an app campaign. Currently UAC information and anything related to them, can only be retrieved via the reports listed in this guide.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

I am getting "utm_source=(not%20set)&utm_medium=(not%20set)" in response of install referral API on click google play store ads. How can I get the GCLID in-app
