Is there any way to get reports with unformatted data ?

[Arun Jain]

Is there any way to get unformatted (raw) data from AdWords report currently I have to remove all formatting from the each cell by iterating through report to get unformatted data.

this the the question I asked on Adwords Script Forum here

Anthony from AdWords Scripts Team replied this can be done in AdWords API can anyone show me how ?

Hi Arun,

AdWords API does have the useRawEnumValues header to specify if you want the returned format to be the actual enum value rather than the display value. I'm afraid this only applies to fields which contain enum values. Please see this guide for the return format of different fields in AdWords API reports. The return format of other fields will depend on the downloaded format specified in the request.

Hi! I also have this concern. I need the unformatted reports data which should adhere to the fields data type (e.g If field is long or double, then they should be valid long or double data type). This way I dont need to process each data cell.

Hi,

Unfortunately, AdWords API does not generate reports with fields according to it's data type. The data type you see on the documentation will not always reflect on the reports. Check this guide for reference.

Let me know if you have any other concerns.
