Hi!

Metric metrics.search_click_share for Ad Groups is not available through the Google Ads API
but it is available in UI.

/v8/googleAdsFields service
tells that metrics.search_click_share is selectable with ad_group

But attempt to make GAQL request like
`SELECT segments.date,metrics.search_click_share  FROM ad_group WHERE segments.date = '2021-08-31'`
fails with message:
Cannot select or filter on the following metrics: 'search_click_share'(could not support requested resources: 'AD_GROUP'), since metric is incompatible with the resource in the FROM clause or other selected segmenting resources."

Thank you!

Hi Ildar,

The metrics.search_click_share is indeed not supported when the resource specified in the FROM clause is the ad_group resource. That being said, so that our team may take a closer look at the said metric's availability in the UI, could you share the complete screenshot of the Google Ads UI view you are using to compare?

If your screenshot will contain user / account information, you may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,
