Exponential/scientific notation for DUOBLE fields

[Oksana Sulyma]

Hi Google Ads API team!

We pull https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v15/campaign#campaign.optimization_score field from API and got some values in

scientific notation, as example 1.4210854715202E-14.

Documentation says field format is DOUBLE, but I can't find anything in documentation that says that DOUBLE can be in exponential/scientific notation.

Could you please confirm that this is expected API behavior - to return values in exponential format for fields declared as  DOUBLE ?

If so, what field formats could be impacted by this (whether it's some of the DOUBLE fields, all of them, DOUBLE and other field types, etc.)?

I'll be happy to provide additional details on request / response privately if needed.

Thanks,

Oksana

Hi,

Using the python client library I get values returned as "normal" floats like "0.9605413375709904" for campaign optimization score, from the campaign query report.

Is it possible something in your process is converting/interpreting the number in scientific notation? What does the initial raw response look like?

Regards,

D.H.

Hi,

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

By reviewing your query, I understand that your concern is regarding the campaign.optimization_score field. I would suggest you check this Type and format summary guide to know more about the data type and its format value.

Also, in order to investigate the issue provide us with the updated complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end.

Since you are using a python client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific python client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Python to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

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

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Kindly note that optimization score is an estimate of how well your Google Ads account is set to perform. Scores run from 0-100%, with 100% meaning that your account can perform at its full potential. Optimization score of the campaign. Optimization score is an estimate of how well a campaign is set to perform. It ranges from 0% (0.0) to 100% (1.0), with 100% indicating that the campaign is performing at full potential. This field is null for unscored campaigns.

I would recommend you to check this help center article About optimization score for more information.
