Hi all,

On the report documentation, each report field has notes e.g. 
for the Keywords Performance Report for the field 

SearchImpressionShare the notes are: 

The impressions you've received on the Search Network divided by the estimated number of impressions you were eligible to receive. A percentage returned as "xx.xx%", or the special values "< 10%" or "> 90%". Not compatible with the field ClickType on any report. Not compatible with the field Device on the Product Partition Report.


I wish to use these field notes in my internal database column comments. Using the getReportFields I am pulling the necessary data on these fields but cannot see these notes as an available option.

Is there a way to grab this data via the API, any future plans to add it or any other way of grabbing this info (other than scraping the documentation pages)?

Thanks for the help!

HI Stephen,

Unfortunately, AdWords API does not support returning report field descriptions. There are currently no plans of adding this feature.
