GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT Stats are split in 2 location types.

[Matías Dell'Oso]

Hello, when I call GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT I am getting the stats segmented by Location Type (I am not sending location type in the request). This is not the same behavior than AdWords. For example, for the request below I am getting 18 records using Google Ads and 9 from AdWords. Is this the spected behavior?

{

    "reportName": "Report Name",

    "reportType": "GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT",

    "fields": [ "Ctr",

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

                "CountryCriteriaId", "AccountCurrencyCode", "AccountDescriptiveName", "CampaignId",

                "CampaignName", "LocationType"],

    "timePeriod": "CUSTOM_DATE",

    "startDate": "2021-09-01",

    "endDate": "2021-09-30",

    "downloadFormat": "CSV",

    "reportConfiguration": {

        "isSkipReportHeader": false,

        "isSkipColumnHeader": false,

        "isSkipReportSummary": false,

        "isIncludeZeroImpressions": false,

        "isUseRawEnumValues": false

    }

}

The request is in AdWords format, I adapted it to call Google Ads.

This is AdWords response:

"campaignName" -> My Campaign Name
"clickCount" -> "97"

This is GoogleAds response:

"campaignName" -> My Campaign Name
"clickCount" -> "73"

"locationType" -> AREA_OF_INTEREST

"campaignName" -> My Campaign Name
"clickCount" -> "24"

"locationType" -> LOCATION_OF_PRESENCE

Is there any way to get the stats all together in the same record?

Thanks!

Sorry this is the actual request (without LocationType)

                "CountryCriteriaId", "AccountCurrencyCode", "AccountDescriptiveName", "CampaignId",

                "CampaignName"],

    "timePeriod": "CUSTOM_DATE",

    "startDate": "2021-09-01",

    "endDate": "2021-09-30",

    "predicates": [{

        "fieldName": "CampaignId",

        "operator": "IN",

        "values": [

            "10434777033","11771884276","10434777039","10707253587","11004973619","10434777045",

This is the GoogleAds Query

Select metrics.ctr,metrics.clicks,metrics.impressions,metrics.cost_micros,geographic_view.country_criterion_id,customer.currency_code,customer.descriptive_name,campaign.id,campaign.name From geographic_view Where metrics.impressions > 0 AND campaign.id IN (10434777033,11771884276,10434777039,10707253587,11004973619,10434777045,10434777042,10708458434,11771883487,10434777036,11769778304) AND segments.date BETWEEN '2021-09-01' AND '2021-09-30'

Hi Matías,

Thanks for providing us with the requested information.

Upon checking the AdWords API and Google Ads API logs you’ve provided with us, it appears that you're getting as expected results. Kindly note that the Geo Performance Report from AdWords API was split into two reports in Google Ads API as shown here. If you look at the docs for GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for AdWords API, you can see the criteria you must specify on the report to limit results to the type you'd see in one or the other report in Google Ads API. AdWords API uses the same report for targeted locations and non targeted, while in Google Ads API, it's location_view and geographic_view. 

Regards,

Thank you for the response and the information.
