Hi,

I found that CLICK_PERFORMANCE reports downloaded on different days will have different data size. The size is increasing over time. But the variance is normally within 1%. Could anyone explain why this is happening?

For example, the number of lines for Dec-15-2016 reports of different accounts downloaded on Dec-17-2016 are shown below:
       0 CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT_1978642732.csv
       0 CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT_2030658318.csv
       0 CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT_2144013585.csv

Hi Chen,

I'm not quite sure if I understood your concern properly. Are you asking why the returned data is increasing? It is based on the report definition that you're running each time to get these data. To help me better check it, could you provide more details and the complete report definition for each report download? Please also send me the clientCustomerId being used. Make sure to use reply privately to author option in this thread when sending these information.

Thanks,
Joyce, AdWords API Team
