[Clicks metric]: "Gmail clicks to website" in the UI vs Reports

[David Antunes]

Hi,

I get the impression that the "Clicks" in the AdWords UI include the "Gmail clicks to website", but in the API it doesn't.

Could this be possible?

Thanks!

Hi David,

The Clicks metrics available in API reports are the same as the ones available in the UI. Could you provide the complete report definition you used along with your clientCustomerId? There are Gmail specific metrics available in various reports. Have you tried querying these fields from reports?

Hi Shwetha,

Thank you for the answer.

The problem was another one: there were some lines with 0 impressions but clicks > 0.

Could you please confirm if what this user found out in the thread is correct?: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/V5ZjQaPJl80/BVIqOJZPgLQJ

Thanks!

Hi David,

That might be a reason. Are you including any segmenting fields in the report definition? Do you see impressions > 0 when you don't use these fields? Could you provide the complete report definition and your clientCustomerId so I can confirm? 

Thanks,

Shwetha, AdWords API Team.

Hi David,

When you request stats for a single day, the number of clicks and impressions might not make sense when you compare, as impression and click data update at different rates throughout the day. This article provides more details on issues with clicks which will help explain this scenario.
