avg. Position for search and display network always 0

[Colleen Ross Briant]

I pull daily campaign performance reports with the API and have noticed that I never get a value for avg. Position in the Total - Search or Total - Display Network networks, though I do get one for Total. Why is this? How can I get/calculate avg. Position for Search and Display?

I use the googleads library (v 1.0.3) and my code looks like:

        fields = ['Status', 'AdNetworkType1', 'Name', 'Amount', 'Clicks', 'Impressions', 'Ctr', 'AverageCpc', 'Cost', 'AveragePosition', 'Conversions', 'CostPerConversion', 'ConversionRate', 'TotalConvValue', 'ViewThroughConversions', 'TotalCost']
       
        report_option = {
            'reportName': 'Performance Report',
            'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE',
            'reportType': 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
            'downloadFormat': 'CSV',
            'selector': {
                'fields': fields,
                'dateRange': {
                    'min': startDate.strftime('%Y%m%d'),
                    'max': endDate.strftime('%Y%m%d')
                },
            },
        }


        report = StringIO.StringIO()
        report_downloader.DownloadReport(report_option, output=report, return_money_in_micros=False)
        content = report.getvalue().strip().split("\n")
        cr = list(csv.reader(content))

Hi,

Could you send over a sample Customer ID or Campaign IDs, as well as the date range you are using?

Thanks,
