Different Clicks/Impressions values between Adwords API and Ads API

[Justas Grinaveckis]

Hello,

Recently we moved from Adwords API to new Ads API and we noticed that Clicks/Impressions values actually doesn't match between same campaigns. In Adwords API we selected CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and some fields, and then from Ads API we mirrored same fields. We are using Fivetran connectors for this and synced data since beggining so it's not a problem that we don't have enough data. Other metrics like SearchAbsoluteTopImpressionShare, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage etc. matches 1:1 between Adwords and Ads API's. It's been noticed that we received a little bit less of Clicks/Impressions than from Adwords.

Have you been notified about this discrepancy?

Many thanks,

Justas
