Programmatically accessing the custom reports built using the AW Report Editor?

[Pete]

Hi, 

Is there a way to programmatically access data that's generated by the custom reports defined in AdWords Report Editor? The two ways I know of accessing AW report data in general (the AW Scripting and the AW API itself) do not seem to support accessing the Report Editor reports. Only the standard reports (like VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT) are supported in both locations. 

The main reason I am seeking ability to access this data is that the Report Edit allows you to drag into the report YouTube Earned Views and other Earned* metrics. These metrics are not available anywhere else in the AdWords API as far as I can tell. 

I was hoping that scheduling daily Report Editor emails would produce emails with CSV file attachments which I could automatically ingest but no luck - the emails just contain link to the AdWords UI / App. 

Is anybody aware of either getting hold of the Report Editor data or getting those Earned* metrics programmatically? Integration with Gmail or Drive would be just fine. 

Thank you

Pete

Hi Pete,

There is currently no way to access the custom reports of the AdWords Report Editor via the AdWords API and also no available feature to integrate reporting via email or Google Drive. However, if you need to send API reports via email or save in Google Drive, you may use AdWords Scripts instead and you may contact their team via this forum.

Additionally, the only supported reports by the AdWords API are the report types mentioned here and as of now, the Earned Views field as seen in the AdWords UI is not available in the API. What is supported is only the VideoViews of the Video Performance Report. In the meantime, you may follow our blog for any future updates or announcements regarding these features.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Pete - can we have these earned metrics opened up in the API?

Hi Graham,

Earned metrics are currently not supported in the AdWords API. You may follow our blog for any future announcements regarding this feature. Additionally, for any future concerns, I would recommend that you create a new thread where we can discuss your concerns. This will allow us to efficiently track each concern.
