Hi,
Here is the UI spreadsheet required by you. Please have a look. I am getting data for the keyword from the google ads UI. (but in the response it was empty. This is just a small list but it happens with a lot of keywords. (around 1200 keyword out of 12000 keywords. (empty data)))

Thank you.

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

We required uncropped UI screenshot (from your Google Ads account with a visible CID) of the report that you are trying to fetch via the Google Ads API. Also, highlight the discrepancy in the data. Kindly note that the Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI.
