Large discrepancy between the adwords vs ads api before sunset

[Vijay Kumar]

Hi,

We observed on 2022-04-22 for:

- custom-client id = "3443254785"

- duration = { start_date: 2022-03-02, end_date: 2022-03-03 }

there was diff in the data from the Adwords API (returned 0) vs the ads API (returned correctly). Here are the request and the response from that time for 'ad_group' level:

1. Adwords API

- request

```

{:selector=> {:fields=> ["AdGroupId", "CampaignId", "Date", "AdGroupType", "ActiveViewImpressions", "ActiveViewMeasurableCost", "ActiveViewMeasurableImpressions", "AllConversions", "AllConversionValue", "ClickAssistedConversions", "ClickAssistedConversionValue", "Clicks", "Conversions", "ConversionValue", "Cost", "CrossDeviceConversions", "CurrentModelAttributedConversions", "CurrentModelAttributedConversionValue", "Engagements", "ImpressionAssistedConversions", "ImpressionAssistedConversionValue", "Impressions", "Interactions", "AveragePosition", "VideoQuartile100Rate", "VideoQuartile75Rate", "VideoQuartile50Rate", "VideoQuartile25Rate", "VideoViews", "ViewThroughConversions", "TopImpressionPercentage", "AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage", "SearchTopImpressionShare", "SearchAbsoluteTopImpressionShare", "SearchImpressionShare", "SearchRankLostImpressionShare", "SearchRankLostTopImpressionShare", "SearchRankLostAbsoluteTopImpressionShare", "SearchBudgetLostTopImpressionShare", "SearchBudgetLostAbsoluteTopImpressionShare"], :date_range=>{:min=>"20220302", :max=>"20220303"}}, :report_type=>"ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT", :download_format=>"CSV", :report_name=>"Adgroup performance", :date_range_type=>"CUSTOM_DATE"}

```

- response

```

```

Whereas, the aggregated cost data for the same account at the same 'ad_group' level from the Ads API was 19102.865987 in the account's currency (non-micro). This data was precisely matching with the dashboard.

Could you please let us know the reason for this discrepancy? Or, clarify whether the Adwords API was expected to be unstable before its sunset date (post it was deprecated).
