Placement Reports from the Google Ads API

[Anshul Ravikumar]

Hello team,

Which view from the Google Ads API should we use to match the results from the Content -> "Where Ads Showed" report from the Google Ads dashboard?

From the Google Ads API, we see multiple views available :
- managed placement view
- group placement view
- detail placement view

Also what is the difference between Placement (Group) and Placement fields from the Google Ads dashboard? Which views from the API can we use to get the data for these 2 fields?

Thanks!

• You may use the group_placement_view for "Where Ads Showed".

What is the difference between Placement (Group) and Placement fields from the Google Ads dashboard?

• You may reach out to the Google Ads Product team for this concern.

Hey team,

Just another doubt here : Will the placements from the managed_placement_view also be available in the group_placement_view? Is the managed_placement_view a subset of the group_placement_view?

Thanks!

Hi Anashul,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Note that the managed_placement_view  and  group_placement_view are two different reports in google Ads API. The managed_placement_view reports targeted placements (managed placements), whereas the group_placement_view returns automatic placements.

As a side note, as per blog post, we removed all App campaign placement data from the following reports.

Google Ads API

• Group Placement View
• Detail Placement View

Kindly note that if you use these reports, you may have to use the App Campaigns Brand Safety Placement report in the Google Ads UI.

Let us know if you need further clarifications.

Regards,

Yasar Google Ads API Team
