Hey,

The recent API update (201603) mentions support of Universal App Campaigns in the reporting API (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/#reporting-v201603).
It seems that the UAC campaigns are not retrieved when running the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (country level breakdown) although retrieved perfectly using the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.

Is it possible that UAC campaigns geo location data cannot be pulled using the API?

I'm using the python adwords lib with the following report query: 

uac_report = {
    "reportName": "AdHoc Campaigns Report", 
    "reportType": "GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT",
    "dateRangeType": "CUSTOM_DATE",
    "selector": {
           "fields": ["CampaignId", "Date", "CampaignName", "Device", "Impressions", "Clicks", "Cost", "AccountCurrencyCode", "AdNetworkType2","CampaignStatus", "AdvertisingChannelType", "AdvertisingChannelSubType", "CountryCriteriaId"],
    "dateRange": {
    "min": '2016-03-01',
    "max": '2016-03-27',
    },
},
downloadFormat: "CSV",
}



Thanks :)

Hello,

Could you provide me privately the clientCustomerId(CID) for the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT request? Just click Reply privately to author in the forum when responding.

Hello,

Universal App Campaigns are only supported in the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. They are not yet supported in the GEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT or any other reports. I will make sure that our release notes get updated to note this fact, as I can see that they were worded a bit too broadly.

Regards,

Hi Michael,

You definitely should update the release notes, we were trying to get Universal App data from other reports until we stumbled upon your post.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello,

The release notes were updated shortly after my last response here to mention that this only works for the Campaign Performance Report.

Thanks Michael. 

I don't see any field related to mobile app installs. We're trying to pull # of UAC app downloads from the Adwords API. 

Can you point me to the right direction?

Hi Jonny,

You can identify UACs in the Campaign Performance Report using the fields AdvertisingChannelType and AdvertisingChannelSubType. When filtering on the records, you can add the following filters to your report:

AdvertisingChannelType = MULTI_CHANNEL
AdvertisingChannelSubType = UNIVERSAL_APP_CAMPAIGN 

Our Mobile App Campaigns Reporting Guide has more details on this topic.

Vishal, AdWords API Team

The problem with the campaign performance report is that it does not contain the country breakdown.
Is there any way to pull UAC performance with country breakdown at the moment?
