Hi Team,

I am trying to build structure data hence downloading keyword performance report with zero impressions=True (this was suggested to us by our google account manager/contact).
I am downloading using python api.

But I am getting this error. I have includeZeroImpressions=True

ERROR_GETTING_RESPONSE_FROM_BACKEND</type><trigger>Unable to read report data</trigger><fieldPath></fieldPath></ApiError></reportDownloadError>'

Hi Tirtha,

To better investigate the issue, could you provide me your clientCustomerId and the complete report definition you used? You may reply using the Reply privately to author option.

Best regards,

Hi Peter, 

Did you get me error details in private reply?

Hi Tirtha,

Yes, I got your private message containing the error details and I have responded to you privately as well. Could you also check? As for the issue, I was able to replicate it on my end. The error seems to be due to the amount of data being downloaded at once and what you might have experienced is a timeout due to it.

As a workaround, you may further breakdown the report by decreasing the number of fields being included in your SELECT query and include additional filters.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response. Last question on this topic. Can we use multiple filter conditions/ predicates in the api request?

For example can I say campaign in (ENABLED) and accoutndescriptivename CONTAINS 'XYZ' ?

Thanks
Tirtha

Hi Tirtha,

Yes, you may use multiple filters in your report definition. Apart from our reporting guide you may also refer to this documentation for more information on how you can structure your AWQL query in your reports.
