Hello,

I'm making this request for spent:

SELECT

metrics.cost_micros,

metrics.clicks,

metrics.impressions,

metrics.conversions,

metrics.all_conversions

FROM

customer

WHERE

segments.date BETWEEN '2022-12-09' AND '2022-12-09'

I'm using cost_micros as spent value, i get the result but not as expected.

spent in UI:
R$ 714

spent in api:
R$ 899

is cost_micros wrong to use?

Hi,

I am Carmela from the Google Ads API support team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regards to your concern, I understand that you are not getting the expected cost value. That said, in order for our team to have a better view and can investigate this, could you please provide the uncropped screenshot of the Google Ads UI showing the data that you are retrieving and the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end?

You may then send the requested logs via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Regards,

Carmela
