[Vinayaka N]

I have written code for getting reports, but I am getting exception   Customer can not create report of a selected type.. (Error: ReportDefinitionError.CUSTOMER_SERVING_TYPE_REPORT_MISMATCH, FieldPath: selector.reportDefinition, Trigger: ). 

code is below

 ReportDefinition definition = new ReportDefinition()

            {

                reportName = "Last 7 days CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT",

                reportType = ReportDefinitionReportType.CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT,

                downloadFormat = DownloadFormat.XML,

                dateRangeType = ReportDefinitionDateRangeType.LAST_7_DAYS,

                selector = new Selector()

                {

                    fields = new string[] 

                    {"CampaignId", "AdGroupId", "Id", "CriteriaType", "Criteria",

                        "FinalUrls", "Clicks", "Impressions", "Cost"

                    },

                    predicates = new Predicate[] 

                    {

                        Predicate.In("Status", new string[] {"ENABLED", "PAUSED"})

                    }

                },

            };

            (user.Config as AdWordsAppConfig).IncludeZeroImpressions = true;

            string filepath = Server.MapPath("data.xml");

            try

            {

                ReportUtilities utilities = new ReportUtilities(user,"v201609",definition);

                using (ReportResponse response = utilities.GetResponse())

                {

                    response.Save(filepath);

                }

                Response.Write("Report downloaded"+ filepath);

            }

            catch(Exception ex)

            {

                string a = ex.Message;

            }

I am not able to understand where I am going wrong please help me.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Vinayaka,

It looks like you are trying to download a report from a manager account. AdWords API reports can only be obtained for client (non-manager) accounts. You can use ManagedCustomerService to get account information, and if ManagedCustomer.canManageClients is true, then the account is a manager account. This way you can ensure that the clientCustomerId in the reporting request corresponds to a non-manager account.
