KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT incomplete data fix estimate

[okieb...@gmail.com]

Due to incomplete report data from the KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT I
was forced to migrate backwards to V13 back in March. I really hate
using the inefficient V13 when the V201008 and V201101 are optimized
via use of the report definition feature, and would love to know when
the KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is scheduled to be patched and ready
for prime time again.

I was able to pinpoint exactly how the report breaks and had hoped for
a patch by now so I could take advantage of the efficiencies in the
V201101 API. In summary, the problem only manifests itself when a
remarketing campaigns has no keywords. In the past the infamous
"boomuserlist" was reported back for the keyword and as I stated this
is all that is necessary going forward. Having said that, of course
it would be interesting to have the audience or other meaningful data
provided, but I'd take just about anything, except incomplete data at
this time.

Can someone on the API reporting team please provide an estimate, I
hate the inefficient code I'm forced to use in the interim.

Thanks in advance your assistance,

I'd like to second that request. Although we think that we've been
able to get around this problem by pulling ad performance data and
then searching for campaign names that we know are remarketing
campaigns, it's a kludge and a bit risky. There needs to be some
reliable way of identifying this sort of data. It seems pretty crazy
that the reporting cannot report on 100% of the data that makes up the
on-screen results seen in the UI interface. After all, the UI is
getting its data from somewhere!

Hi,

I understand your frustration and as you pointed out there is no efficient way to get this kind of information out of the new reports. I have communicated your concerns to the Team, and I'll work to have this information exposed in reports, unfortunately I can't have you an estimate at this time.

Best,

Hi All,

To be clear through, this data is available in the reports today, it's just aggregated at the ad group or campaign level.  Per-audience (CriterionUserList) statistics is what's provided by the v13 boomuserlist rows, and those currently aren't available through the new reporting system.

Best,
