biddable_app_install_conversions on adgroup level shown but not selectable

[Darshan Baid]

The metric biddable_app_install_conversions is listed as supported on ad_group level in googleAdsFields api

```
 curl --location 'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v19/googleAdsFields/metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
```

```
{
    "resourceName": "googleAdsFields/metrics.biddable_app_post_install_conversions",
    "category": "METRIC",
    "dataType": "DOUBLE",
    "name": "metrics.biddable_app_post_install_conversions",
    "selectable": true,
    "filterable": true,
    "sortable": true,
    "selectableWith": [
        "ad_group",
        "ad_group_ad_asset_view",
        "campaign",
        "customer",
        "segments.ad_network_type",
        "segments.conversion_action",
        "segments.conversion_action_category",
        "segments.conversion_action_name",
        "segments.date",
        "segments.month",
        "segments.month_of_year",
        "segments.quarter",
        "segments.week",
        "segments.year"
    ],
    "typeUrl": "",
    "isRepeated": false
}
```

Yet - this is not available when actually querying on the ad_group level. Eg. https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v19/ad_group_query_builder

Is this discrepancy expected? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Hi,

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

Please note that the metrics.biddable_app_install_conversions field is not yet supported at the ad group level in the Google Ads API. However, I'll raise a feature request for this to be available at ad group level in the Google Ads API. I cannot provide a scheduled timeline for the availability of this request, I would recommend you to please follow our release notes and blog post for further updates.

 

Kindly note that the ad_group document shows all metrics and segments that can be put in the same SELECT clause as the fields of ad_group. However, when you specify ad_group in the FROM clause, some metrics and segments cannot be used. Use the filter option and select 'Yes, it is' from the drop-down to show only the fields that can be used when ad_group is specified in the FROM clause. This will filter out and give the results that are supported at ad group level while retrieving the data from the API. 

I hope this clarifies your concern. Feel free to reach out for any further concerns/ queries.
