Report to get (only) sitelinks

[Emmanuel Espina]

I see that now we can use PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT to get a list of all the feed items in the account and among them we get the sitelinks. But I could't figure out how to tell one item from another apart (that is, to find what is a sitelink and what is another extension). I want to consider all the sitelinks, those with impressions and those without them.

According to the doc there is a PlaceholderType field that should be for this, but this is not working; when I include it in the report or try to filter with it I get zero results.

Is there any way to get the feedId, feedItemId and Atrributes of just sitelinks in the account?

Thank you

Emmanuel

We faced the same problem few weeks ago and ended up having to include the impressions field so that we get the data back.  There is most likely a bug with this report type whereby without the impressions filed included you can't get any results.   You can simply ignore the impressions in the returned report.

We also use the PlaceholderType as a predicate (set value to 1) and this way you will get back only the sitelinks.

However, there is still one problem with this report.  It will return all sitelinks that ever had an impression, even the deleted ones.  We can't find a way to filter them out (yet).  Let us know if you figure it out :-)

Hi Emmanuel,

The PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT, a feed item can actually serve as a sitelink but also as other type of extension. Imagine it is just a row in a table (the feed) and it can be mapped to different type of extensions. The PlaceholderType will effectively segment the stats of your feed item by type, but as with any of our segment type of fields it will prevent zero impression. That is the reason why adding the impressions field will effectively make them show up, but you have to have accumulated impressions for such item. If you want to have an accurate view of all your feed items in the account you'll need to use the FeedItemService.

Best,

Thanks David

The workaround I found is to use the FeedMappingService to get the
feed id that is used for sitelinks (currently only one feed is used).
Then I downloaded a PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT filtered by that feed
Id (because it has better performance than the service).

Thanks
Emmanuel
