search_click_share at ad_group level not available, contrary to documentation (google ads api beta)

[Younggyo Lee]

Hi team,

I was having difficulties at getting some data from API.

I have tried this query in Google Ads API Beta v3 and v4 but always getting this error.

The documentation says it's available https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v4/ad_group#metrics.search_click_share

I can also see that the field is available from the UI.

--------------------------------------

Query used:

query = (

 "SELECT "

 "segments.date, "

 "ad_group.id, "

 "ad_group.name, "

 "metrics.search_click_share " # This column throws API error for unknown reason

 "FROM ad_group "

 'WHERE segments.date BETWEEN "2020-08-01" AND "2020-08-07" '

 "AND metrics.impressions > 0 "

 "ORDER BY segments.date DESC "

)

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

Part of error message from the API:

 query_error: PROHIBITED_METRIC_IN_SELECT_OR_WHERE_CLAUSE

  }

  message: "Cannot select or filter on the following metrics: \'search_click_share\'(could not support requested resources: \'AD_GROUP\'), since metric is incompatible with the resource in the FROM clause or other selected segmenting resources."

--------------------------------------

Can you please help on this? Thank you!
