cannot download the report data and the message "MISSING_PARAMETER" appears

[T.M.]

I tried to extract the report data via api, however can not download the data and the message "ReportDownloadError.MISSING_PARAMETER". What should I do to troubleshoot this error?

Hi,

For an XML report definition, the POST request body must contain a parameter named "__rdxml" whose value is your XML report definition. Your HTTP POST request should look something like this:

HTTP HEADER:

Authorization:Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
clientCustomerId:xxx-xxx-xxxx
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
developerToken:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Request Parameters:

__rdxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<reportDefinition xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201509">
  <selector>
    <fields>CampaignId</fields>
    <fields>Id</fields>
    <fields>Impressions</fields>
    <fields>Clicks</fields>
    <fields>Cost</fields>
    <predicates>
      <field>Status</field>
      <operator>IN</operator>
      <values>ENABLED</values>
      <values>PAUSED</values>
    </predicates>
  </selector>
  <reportName>Custom Adgroup Performance Report</reportName>
  <reportType>ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT</reportType>
  <dateRangeType>LAST_7_DAYS</dateRangeType>
  <downloadFormat>CSV</downloadFormat>
</reportDefinition>

PS: You might get ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME_FOR_REPORT and SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_FIELD_NAME errors, because the fields "Id" and "Status" are not defined for AdGroup Performance Report. Use "AdGroupId" and "AdGroupStatus" instead.

Hello Shwetha,

Even though I added the request parameter "__rdxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>",  the message "ReportDownloadError.MISSING_

PARAMETER" does not change. Is there anything I can look into the cause of this message?

Best Regards,
T.M.

Hi, 

To clarify, the value of the parameter "__rdxml" is your complete report definition. I apologize if my previous email was not clear. Here, you'll find a complete example of a HTTP POST request showing the report definition enclosed in it. You could also use one of our client libraries which has sample code to download reports. 

Can you try to download the report one more time and if you are still receiving the error, send me the complete HTTP request and response so I can take a look at whats going wrong? Please use "Reply privately to author" button on the right.

Thanks,
