Hi all,

I am practically new here and does not know much about this. I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve data such as keyword, campaign etc related to a gclid within my CRM? I am now storing the gclid from the landing url, but does not know how to retrieve info using this. I have gone through the Adwords API but couldn't any such. Please let me know if such a way exists.

Yes it is possible to get campaign keywords, on our end we built a service that will run a certain google adwords script to get such information.  You may explore the adwords script and google has prepared documentation on what and how we get a particular data from adwords.

Hi,

Through AdWords API, you can run a Click Performance Report which will aggregate your report rows on the GCLID level. You can find details such as the campaign, ad group and keyword from that click. Let me know if you have any issues.

Cheers,

Can I get those data using Google Ads Api?
I can see criteria fields is depricated, How I can retrive this information?

I cannot migrate to New API without this information.

Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately, keyword fields for the click_view report have been deprecated. However, you can get details on the clicks' campaigns and ad groups.

Regards,

Hi,
Click performance report only returns back data for the past 90 days only. I have some gclids that date back before that. Is there any way that I could use google adwords API (or any other preferred way) to fetch data for such gclid values.

Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to get GCLIDs older than 90 days through the API.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Is there any other way that we extract these details using GCLID other than API.

Hello,

I recommend reaching out to the Google Ads product team as they are better suited in knowing if there is a way to get this data other than from the API.
