Keywords Performance Report - First Position CPC addition request

[Will Atkins]

Hi there,

In the Keywords Performance Report (accessed via the api - https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/keywords-performance-report) there are currently attributes for First page CPC and Top of page CPC, but there is not one for First position CPC (Which is visible in the Web UI for Adwords in the Keywords report "Est. first position bid").

Is this something that will be added at some point, or is there a reason for it being excluded?

Thanks,

Will

Thanks Thanet,

So going back to my original question "Is this something that will be added at some point, or is there a reason for it being excluded?"

Can I take from their response that it may be added at some point in the future (I appreciate they probably can't say how soon)?  

I mean I'm assuming there isn't a reason it wasn't added that would mean it would never be added?

Just after some more information.

Cheers,

Will

Hi Will,

Sorry that my reply wasn't clear to you.

Regarding your question,

So going back to my original question "Is this something that will be added at some point, or is there a reason for it being excluded?"

It may be added at some point in the future but we can't guarantee the timeline at this moment.
