How to get history of the adjustments such as removals of invalid traffic?

[Sumin Lee]

Hello, 

We have found that Google may update metrics one or more days after a click occurs, when you detect invalid traffic that needs to be removed, etc. 

Can we get the history of all of those adjustments? 

It doesn't matter if we can get logs either through Google Ads UI or API.

Regards,

Hi Sumin,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Could you please confirm whether you want to retrieve the clicks via the API? If so, metrics.clicks provide the number of clicks. Also, you may refer to this help center article to know more information on the clicks. If this is not what you're looking for, please provide more information on your concerns along with a relevant screenshot.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Hi, 

What I inquired was about "Adjustments" part of this document: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2544985?hl=en&ref_topic=3121937&sjid=8341463980007673783-AP

It says:

"Your metrics may occasionally be updated one or more days after a click occurs."

I'd like to retrieve the history of those updates.

Hi,

Note that it's not possible to retrieve the history of all of those adjustments via the Google Ads API, but you can get the metrics.clicks once the click is updated. You may use the below sample query. 

SELECT metrics.clicks FROM click_view WHERE segments.date = 'YYYY-MM-DD'

You may check the Fields/Segments/Metrics supported in the click_view resource. You can utilize GoogleAdsService.SearchStream and pass the required customer ID without hyphens(-) and a developer token in the specified field to retrieve the data. I hope this helps.
