Discrepancy in campaigns spent between API and dashboard

[Eric Wee]

Hi there

There's a discrepancy in a campaign spent between what I get from the Ads API and what's shown on the Google Ads dashboard.

It seems the spent differs on particular campaign type, e.g. Display, as the Search type seems to return the correct spent amount from both the Ads API and the Ads dashboard.

Is this the expected result? Or how do I get the correct spent amount from the Ads API?

Thanks

Eric

Hello Eric,

The Google Ads UI and AdWords API will be always in sync. That said, the data you see on the UI will match with the API services/reports. If you are seeing any discrepancy please share the corresponding details like screenshots from UI, the report definition used along with the CID. You could use reply privately to the author option while sharing the details requested.
