changed statistics

[Inna Keegan]

Hello! 

Could you, please, tell me how can I get changes in clicks (when Google detect invalid traffic) via API? 

Like what if Google correct my 3 days ago statistics. How do I know I need to reload it via API for that date? 

Is there any method? Cause in Click View I don't see any filter like that.

Hi Inna,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API Support Team.

 

Could you please clarify if you're aiming to check how much the difference is of the recorded clicks <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v14/metrics#metrics.clicks> from one date to another? If yes, then I would suggest to create a report <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v14/overview> and utilize specific dates or implement a date range you're retrieving data from. You can check this link <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/query/date-ranges> for more information on date ranges.

 

If you'd like to check how much they've decreased or increased in value, you can post-process the report and essentially compare them. If the first date is much lower, you'd subtract the first date from the second date's recorded metric and, if not, subtract the second date from the first if the former is much higher.

 

If this is not what you're looking for, then could you please further elaborate on your concern so we're able to have a clear understanding of it? It would be much appreciated if you could provide complete and uncropped supporting screenshots for us to have a better visualization of the information you're aiming to retrieve.

 

You may send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. Note that you may need to join the Google Group for you to use this option. If this option is not available on your end still, you may send the details directly to our alias `googleadsa...@google.com` instead.

Hello! 

Thank you for your reply!

What I need is:
in case Google detected invalid traffic for some dates ago and fixed it, I want to get a notification what dates are they, so I could reload statistics for these dates. Because as a saas service we collect statistics of our clients every day for yesterday, and if Google changed some data for a day before yesterday, we don't know that. Did you get me?

Hi Inna,

Thank you for returning to our team and for providing more context.

Regarding getting a notification of the dates when Google detected invalid traffic, as mentioned, please note that Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. The Google Ads API is the programmatic interface to Google Ads, used for managing large or complex Google Ads accounts and campaigns. You can build software that manages accounts from the customer level down to the keyword level. If this is not visible or available in the Google Ads UI, then I am afraid that this is also highly not possible in the Google Ads API. Having said that, can you confirm if you can see or this data is available in the Google Ads UI/Interface? If so, can you provide the uncropped/complete Google Ads UI screenshot showing this data/information so our team can have a better view and provide accurate recommendations?

In addition, if you are not sure where to find it in the Google Ads UI or need further assistance, you may reach out to the Google Ads Product support team via this link [https://support.google.com/google-ads/gethelp] as they are the appropriate team who provide assistance to UI-related concerns.
