Hi,

is there any particular reason why the google ads api does not return all conversion actions that we see on UI? I suspect that google ads api does not return conversion actions imported from third-party analytics providers.
(I am referring to the response of this query:
                    SELECT
                      conversion_action.id
                    FROM
                      conversion_action

or the response from api call to ConversionActionService
)

Why is that? Can you please fix it now?

Regards,
Mike

Hi Bryan,

I am facing similar issue.
UI shows there are total 20 Conversions Actions Setup but API only returns 6

I am using this query

                   SELECT
                        remarketing_action.name,
                        remarketing_action.resource_name,
                        remarketing_action.tag_snippets,
                        conversion_action.resource_name
                    FROM
                       conversion_action

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I see that you're missing conversion actions from your query. Could you provide us with your request and response logs that show the missing conversion actions, as well as show a screenshot of your conversion actions and the ID of the account you're experiencing this discrepancy with?

Hi Bryan,

Sorry, I send you other query. But In my query I have used the conversion_action.
Please see the correct query here.

Query:
                   SELECT
                        conversion_action.category,
                        conversion_action.status,
                        conversion_action.name,
                        conversion_action.resource_name
                    FROM
                       conversion_action

I have sent other required details via email privately.
Actually I have no direct option to reply directly to author. So send on direct support email id.

Thanks,

I am also encountering this issue, specifically as follows: 
Query: 
SELECT conversion_action.name, conversion_action.firebase_settings.event_name, conversion_action.category FROM conversion_action
The returned list contains all conversion actions belonging to categories such as Default, Download, Purchase, AddToCart, BeginCheckOut, PageView, Contact. 
BUT, the conversion actions that I see in the Google Ads UI, which belong to the In-app ad revenue category (for example, conversion actions like ad_impression, which are sent from AdMob to Firebase and then imported into Google Ads), do not appear? 
I am wondering whether these ad_impression conversion actions belong to the conversion_action table?

Hi,

I can confirm that you are using the correct resource. You can retrieve details about your existing conversion actions using the conversion_action resource. To assist you further on why a certain conversion action is not fetched via the API, could you provide us with the uncropped UI screenshot (from your Google Ads account) of the conversion action that is present in the UI but are unable to retrieve via the API? Also, send us the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end while you execute the below query.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java.NetPHPPythonRuby or Perl 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.

I’m writing this email to ensure that you received the information I sent to you via Reply via Author. To summarize, I have been using the REST API through JavaScript fetch. All other campaign requests have gone smoothly and returned complete information. The issue arises when I request the list of conversion actions I have in Google Ads, as all ad_impression conversion actions do not appear in the response content. Since the screenshots and code I sent you contain some information that is not convenient to share publicly, I can't include them here. I’m writing this email just so everyone can read and understand that I am still in communication with your support team. :)
