Ads api geo targeting report

[frank mcmanus]

We are trying to get the geographic metro area segment from the Ads api at the campaign and ad level.

Something like:
SELECT

campaign.id,
campaign.name,

segments.geo_target_metro_area
FROM campaign

Our first attempt returned an error message saying that the segment is not compatible with the resource (campaign). I could not find a sample query. 

How do I go about getting geo target metrics for ads and campaigns?

Hi Frank,

Thank you for reaching out. If you go to the campaign resource and select “Yes, it is” for question “Is campaign specified in the FROM clause of your query?” you would find segments.geo_target_metro is not in the Segments list. This means you could not use segments.geo_target_metro as a segmentation in your query. You could consider using the geographic_view resource to fetch the geo target metrics.


Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
