Unable to segment campaign report by segments.search_engine_results_page_type

[jing chen]

Hello,

I am trying to pull a campaign performance by seach_engine_result_type from Google Ads API v8:

query = """

        SELECT

          campaign.name,

          metrics.clicks,

          metrics.impressions,

          segments.month,

          segments.search_engine_results_page_type     

        FROM campaign

        WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2021-04-01' AND '2021-04-30'"""

Get the error 

 message: "Cannot select or filter on the following segments: \'segments.search_engine_results_page_type\'(could not support requested resources: \'CAMPAIGN\'), since segment is incompatible with the resource in the FROM clause or other selected segmenting resources."

This is pretty basic report for lots of marketers. Wondering can we have this segment on?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Since you're using the campaign view, please note that when you specify campaign in the FROM clause, some metrics and segments cannot be used. You can check on the campaign documentation and select (Yes, it is) from this filter (Is campaign specified in the FROM clause of your query?), you'll see that some metrics/segments are removed from the list. This is the reason why adding segments.search_engine_results_page_type is not working on your end. With that, we suggest that you use the Google Ads Query Builder when creating/validating your GAQL query.

As an aside, I can create a feature request to include the segments.search_engine_results_page_type; however, before doing so, can you share to us your use case as to how this segment impacts your business?
