Hi,

I'm using the URL performance report and receving results that have this domain="mobileapp::1-568147907" url="mobileapp::1-568147907". How do I get more information on the actual mobile app (mainly the real name)?

Thanks
Justin

Hi Justin,

Depending on the report you are running, you might be able to get the app name from the DisplayName field. If that doesn't provide the app name, you can use AdGroupCriterionService or CampaignCriterionService (depending on where you specified your MobileApplication criteria) to retrieve your MobileApplication criteria and pull the displayName from there.

If that doesn't help, could you provide me with a campaign or ad group ID and date range where you're seeing these values, along with the report request you are sending?

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Hi Josh,

I'm running the URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. What's interesting is that when I look at this account under the AdWords ui, then the actual app names are showing. So the data is there, I just don't know how to get it, or where it's available in the API?

Hi Justin,

Have you tried running the PLACEMENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT or the AUTOMATIC_PLACEMENTS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT with the DisplayName field included?

Thanks Josh. Let me give those a shot. I'm wondering if it will still give me the data I need? Or better said what is the difference in the reports

Hi Justin,

The DisplayName field on the URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT will give you the mobile app name, e.g.,

"Mobile App: xxx (Google Play), by xxx"

The difference between the three reports is that URL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT gives you stats by destination URL, while the placement reports give you stats by placement (sites, mobile apps, etc. on the Display Network).

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Hi Josh

That worked perfectly including the DisplayName. I have an unrelated issue with age range reporting. The results are not adding up to the same in the UI. Some reports for AdGroups are showing the same as AdWords UI, then there are others thag don't match, and those report results are empty. Any thoughts?
