Hello Team,
We are using the Google Ads API to retrieve campaign data based on the GCLID for an App Install campaign. However, each time the API returns a blank value. When we check with a Search campaign, we can see the campaign name and other related data. But for the App Install campaign, we are not receiving similar data.
API call URL:
https://googleads.googleapis.com/v18/customers/$customerID/googleAds:searchStream
Customer ID:- 852-543-9060
Data Query used:-
"SELECT
campaign.id,
campaign.name,
ad_group.id,
click_view.gclid,
click_view.page_number,
click_view.keyword
FROM
click_view
WHERE
click_view.gclid = '$gclid_value'
AND
segments.date = '$date'
Limit 1"
Regards,
Savan Barot
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
According to the API documentation, reporting features within the Google Ads API enable the retrieval of data, including metrics and attributes, from app campaigns. However, the Google Click Identifier (GCLID) is not directly accessible within app campaign reporting through the Google Ads API. I will raise a request for this feature to become available in the Google Ads API. However, I cannot provide a scheduled timeline for its availability in the API. So, I would recommend that you follow our Blog Post and Release Notes for future updates.
