Hi,

We've been using the Adwords API to download AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage and TopImpressionPercentage from the Geo Performance Report. It seems that in Google Ads API this is not possible anymore?

We're getting this error: "PROHIBITED_METRIC_IN_SELECT_OR_WHERE_CLAUSE", saying that: "Cannot select or filter on the following metrics: \'absolute_top_impression_percentage\'(could not support requested resources: \'GEOGRAPHIC_VIEW\', \'GEOGRAPHIC_VIEW\'), since metric is incompatible with the resource in the FROM clause or other selected segmenting resources."

There is no mention of this in the migration guide here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/migration/reports#geo_performance

Hi David,

Yes, that is correct. This field is not available in Google Ads API for geographic_view. If you navigate to the Geographic report in the UI, you will see that these fields are also no longer available for this tab. You can use the Interactive Google Ads Query Builder to check if your queries are valid.
