metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions not available

[Oksana Sulyma]

Hi Google Ads API team!

I'm pulling https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v15/ad_group report. 

Per documentation metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions is selectable if 'ad_group specified in the FROM clause of your query'. 

But I don't see this metric available in query builder https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v15/ad_group_query_builder. 

When I try to 'SELECT metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions FROM ad_group' I get ' "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.", "code": 3, "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"'.

What is special about this field and why it is available per documentation, but doesn't work in my example? 

Thanks in advance for looking at my question. Happy holidays!

Hi Oksana,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that you are encountering the error "INVALID_ARGUMENT" when trying to query "metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions" with ad_group in the FROM clause.

Kindly note that, "metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions" cannot be used with ad_group in the FROM clause. When you specify ad_group in the FROM clause, some metrics and segments cannot be used. I would recommend you to use this filter "Is ad_group specified in the FROM clause of your query?" to show only the fields that can be used when ad_group is specified in the FROM clause. After you select the filter "Is ad_group specified in the FROM clause of your query?" to "Yes, it is", you will be shown only with the metrics that can be filtered with ad_group in the FROM clause.

I hope this helps. You can get back to us if you still have any issues/concerns related to the Google Ads API.
