"AdGroupCreativeId" in Click Performance Report doesn't match "Id" in Ad Performance Report

[Ittai Chorev]

Hi,

I pulled a Click Performance Report with the "AdGroupCreativeId" attribute on an adgroup with only one click that date.

Then I pulled an Ad Performance Report on the same adgroup/date and the "ID" field in the Ad report (which should match the Ad ID) doesn't match the "AdGroupCreativeId" from the Click Performance Report.

When I added the other attributes they all matched - "Slot", "Device" and "KeywordID" (called "CriterionID" in the Click Performance Report).

Thanks,

Ittai

Hi Ittai,

Do you mind sharing the Ad Group ID and date for which you are pulling these reports?

Hi David,

Sure - This is the reply I get:

{'AdGroupId': '7882977711', 'CriteriaId': '16812450713',  'AdGroupCreativeId': '38257569231',  'CountryCriteriaId': 'Germany', Date': '2013-10-21' }

There is only one click on that Adgroup that day which comes from Ad ID: 38134791951 which doesn't match the AdGroupCreativeId (as it should)

We've noticed that there's an almost-constant offset between the two numbers - the difference of 122777280 (=AdGroupCreativeId - Ad ID) tends to repeat itself in some other samples we did along with a few other close numbers.

The returned CriteriaId does match the expected KeywordId.

One more thing is that the CountryCriteriaId doesn't match the GeoPerformanceReport, which returns the following:

{'AdGroupId': '7882977711', 'CountryCriteriaId': 'Sri Lanka', 'Date': '2013-10-21', 'Clicks': '1'}

Thanks!

 I forgot to send the GclId from the Click report in case that can help you in any way. It's:

CNO6z663p7oCFTF04god4DcAjA

So the full reply is:

{'GclId': 'CNO6z663p7oCFTF04god4DcAjA', 'AdGroupId': '7882977711', 'CriteriaId': '16812450713',  'AdGroupCreativeId': '38257569231',  'CountryCriteriaId': 'Germany', Date': '2013-10-21' }

Hi Ittai,

Sorry for the delay, I was able to reproduce the problem on my side and talking with my team to figure out a solution. Please bear with me for a bit more.

Hi David,

Happy to see you reproduced the problem and thanks for the help! 

Just to verify - did you reproduce both problems? the AdGroupCreativeId and the CountryCriteriaId? (Both of them don't match the expected value).

Best Regards,

Ittai

Hi,

Is there any update/timeline for this issue? 

Since you introduced the Click Performance Report we've been advising our customers to start using the GclId for attributing revenue data , as it's a much simpler and easier way than manual tagging (Google Analytics recommends this as well!). However, we are still unable to attribute the revenue data to creatives or locations.

Thanks!

Hello! I've just recently started using the API for reporting purposes and was excited to use Gclld to tie back to revenue as well, but am noticing the same issue. None of the AdGroupCreativeId's match the AdId, however the CampaignId and the AdGroup id match exactly. Would be great to get to the Ad level. Any update is much appreciated!!

Thanks,

[Max Amillion]

A timeline for resolution of this issue would be great. This is a huge problem and I have no idea how long it will remain this way - it would be great to at least inform clients of an ETA. Thanks!

Hi Danial

Any update on this? It brought my script development to a halt back in december and I havent been able to do much since.

Thanks

[Danial Klimkin]

Hello Fred,

This should be resolved with the next API release. Due to the nature of the change, we can't make it in between releases.

[Max Amillion]

Hi Danial, 

When is the next API release?

[Fred Cohen]

Max, 

Danial pointed me to this blog when i asked the same question directly to him..

http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2012/08/release-schedule-for-adwords-api.html

The blog says "These major releases will occur 3 times per year: at the end of February, in the middle of June and at the end of September. Exact release dates may vary." The blog says "These major releases will occur 3 times per year: at the end of February, in the middle of June and at the end of September. Exact release dates may vary." 

So i am hoping for an imminent fix!

Hello Max,

Please follow our announcements on the blog. Unfortunately I can not tell more than the original blog post says.

Hi Danial, 

How far off that API release are we? roughly? weeks? months?

Regards

Fred

Danial,

Unfortunately it looks like the problem is still there.. the AdGroupCreativeID in the Click Performance Report still doesn't not reference an ID in the Ad Performance Report.

Hello Fred,

Please check the "CreativeId" field of v201402. If it does not match, please send me both reports you are comparing and their definitions over email ("reply to author" button).
