Video Performance Report

[Timna Carmel]

Hi Guys,

Based on the documentation found here: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/video-performance-report#conversioncategoryname

Conversions are not compatible with ConversionCategoryName or with ConversionTypeName for the video performance report.

This limitation makes no sense and I see it has been removed from other reports - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/lnh8NEZy0Tg

There is no real reason you'd be able to get conversion Value\Revenue with conversion tag, but not the conversions metric. 

Are you able to remove that limitation or explain why it's there?

Thanks,

Timna

Hi Timna, 

Thanks for the feedback. I will pass on the request to the team and see if the ConversionTypeName and ConversionCategoryName can be made compatible with Conversions in Video Performance Report. Please keep an eye on our blog for updates and announcements about future releases. 

Thanks,

Hi Timna, 

I have shared your feedback to the team and they are currently looking into the feasibility of exposing this in the API. Unfortunately, we don't have a timeline for when this might be available via the API. I would suggest that you follow our blog for updates and announcements about the future releases. I'll keep you posted on what I hear from the team.

Hi Timna, 

The Conversions field is now compatible with ConversionTypeName and ConversionCategoryName in Video Performance Report. You will find that the docs are yet to be updated. However, I was able to test that the combination of all these fields in the report definition works fine now. Please give it a try and let me know if you are facing any issues.

Thanks for the update
