Cannot find Watch Time and Avg. Watch time/impressions in the API

Hi Guys,

We cannot find the metrics Watch Time and Avg. Watch time/impressions in the Adwords API Ad Report. Please let us know if they are under different names.

Hi,

Are you perhaps referring to a report in the AdWords UI for the "Watch Time and Avg. Watch time/impressions" fields you have mentioned? If yes, could you reply to us privately (using reply privately to author option) with the complete screenshot of the AdWords UI report so I can better identify the appropriate report type and fields that you could use in the AdWords API?

Regards,

Looking for the same metrics !! I am using AdPerformace Report and looking for Avg watch time & watch time metrics for YouTube Video campaigns. 

Thanks

Hi,

Currently, the "Watch time" and "Avg. watch time / impr." metrics are only available in the AdWords UI and not supported via AdWords API. You may, however, follow our blog for future updates.

Hi,

Are there any updates on adding Watch Time and/or Avg Watch Time/Impr. to the API?  

Thanks,

Hi Jen,

I'm afraid that these fields are not yet supported in the AdWords API. You may continue to follow our blog for updates.

Thanks and regards,

Hi team,

Any updates?  This forum is going on 3 years now.  Watch Time metrics are incredibly valuable, but very difficult to pull in any type of bulk when spending millions in Ads.  Can someone provide an ETA on getting this into the API offering?   Thanks!

Hi Jen,

Unfortunately, I cannnot give timelines to when this will be added, but I will update this post once they do.

Hi, just wanted to confirm, I still don't see this in the APIs at a campaign, ad group or ad level. Is there any other way to get this data from the APIs?
