Connection between ad id and placement id

[Алексей Лифшиц]

Hello!
   We want to receive a report with statistics for ad with breakdown by placement. We found only separate reports for ad https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report
and placement https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/placement-performance-report. However we cannot  make a connection between ad id and placement id in these reports

Thus, is it possible for each ad to receive stats with breakdown by placements?


Respectfully Yours,

Hi Alexey, 

You need to include the CriterionId and CriterionType fields in the request to Ad Performance Report to get the criteria that triggered the ad. You can then use the Placement Performance Report to get the details of the placement if CriterionType is PLACEMENT. The Ad Performance Report is a single attribution report when CriterionId is requested. The CriterionId field behaves as a segment and returns any criteria that triggered the ad, not just keywords.
