GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT returns data per ad group while not adding ad group segment

[Tiana S.]

Hi guys,

The documentation for the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT states the following:

The GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT gives all statistics aggregated at the country/territory level. If other segment fields are used, you may get more than one row per country/territory. The AdGroupName field is of type Segment behavior so you are getting the one row corresponding to each AdGroupName plus CountryCriteriaId combination. Please check out GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT document for more details.

So if you don't have any other segments, data should be returned per "Country/Territory", however when I request data from this endpoint it always returns data per Ad Group. This would be OK if I was adding AdGroupName or AdGroupId to my query, but I'm not... All I am requesting is CountryCriteriaId and Impressions.

Since this does not match what's explained in the documentation, I was wondering if this may be a bug.

Thanks,

Tiana

Hi Peter,

Thanks for getting back to me! I actually just found out what's going on, not a bug in the API at all. Sorry about that!

Thanks for the quick response though, really appreciate it!
