Dear All,

I use awReorpting tool to get api data.

Recently, I found that some data i got through awReporting tool is not the same as the data google adwords shows.

for example, i check my monthly report ( July ) . I found that the clicks have some difference which makes the costs the same.

( i use awReporting to get data on August 2nd. )


I can't figure out why this happend and how can i fixed it.

Does there have any better solution?


thanks in advanced !

Hi Ted,

Thank you for providing to us screenshots of your AdWords UI report and the report generated from AWReporting tool.

For us to have a better look on our end, could you provide to us privately (using reply privately to author option) the following?
  • AdWords account Id where you are pulling data from
  • Report type where discrepancies were encountered
  • Fields selected/included in the report
  • Filters specified when generating the report
  • Complete AdWords UI screenshot including which tabs (campaigns, ads, etc.) are selected
  • The actual generated report file from AWReporting tool
However, as the discrepancies are from the data generated via AWReporting tool, you might also want to raise this concern to their team via this link.

Regards,
Ivan
AdWords API Team

hi Ivan,


It said that the data in google adwords will change all the time.

for example, 
when i check the January data on January, the result is A.
However, if i check it ( January data on August ), the result A probably will change to B, right?


thanks in advanced!!

Hi Ted,

The Data freshness guide explains that your account statistics (such as clicks, conversions and impressions) could possibly be delayed by less than three hours. However, generating report from the API and UI filtered in the same date range should still produce similar data from both. 

For us to be able to verify the data generated between the 2 reports mentioned earlier, would you be able to share with us the previously requested information?
