Get Account Performance Report for Accounts with a Certain Label

[Daniel Alvarado]

Hi Team, 

I have been searching for days now in order to find a way to pull a report of type ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for a subset of accounts that match a particular label id. That being said, I haven't been able to find anything. 

I know that the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT does not have a label column, so it can't be filtered like that. Which means I need to have the account Ids already, before I pull the report. 

I know that there is a LabelService but I don't know how I would use that one to pull all Account IDs (without performance, just an array of the IDs) for a given Label ID. 

Any ideas?

Hi,

The AdWords API does not support account-level labels at this time. I think the best you could do is pull a report from the MCC UI to get labels for your accounts and store that within your application for later use. You would, of course, have to periodically update that data as new accounts are added to your MCC or label assignments change.

Hi Josh, 

Thanks for clarifying that Account-level labels are not currently supported, hopefully we'll see them on the next release :)

Say within our Organization we have MCC folders within our main MCC, and I have the ManagerCustomerId for the folders which we are interested in getting data from; Can I pull a ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and get data for all child accounts within the Manager folder? At first glance, I'd say it's not possible, as there's no filed in the report for ManagerID.

Hi,

Please see the following post that covers cross-account reporting:

The quick answer is that you cannot retrieve report data for multiple accounts in a single reporting request. The post includes some suggestions for how to do this with multiple requests.

Not much fun when we have 55 sub MCCs we need to loop through, with ~800 accounts to get data from. We're talking about 800+ API calls.
