Mismatching UI reporting against API reporting

[Christian Pradilla]

Normally, I used to request ALL TIME Reports from API but upon checking the data from UI against the API data, data are not matched. I had more data from UI than API. I've got no filters and request fields are similar. What could be the problem ? Anyway I'm aware of slightly delay on API but even the later data are have not matched against the data from the API.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for reaching out. One possibility that you receive more data from UI than the API is that some types of the campaigns are not supported in the API instead you would be able to retrieve data for all types of campaigns. You could refer to the list of supported types of campaigns for reporting in Adwords API. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks and regards,

Do search query perf, geo perf, and keywords perf could be differ in sum total of the metrics such as impressions,conversions,cost and etc. ? if they do, could you provide a reason why ? I'm trying to match the mentioned metrics and have tried pulling a request for each report with similar Fields like (Date,CampaignId,Cost,Impression,Conversion,Currency, and etc) and still not matching.
