Ads API Metrics unavailable at Geo level- TopImpressionPercentage, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage

[Akshay Khapare]

Hi,

We are migrating from Google Adwords API to Google Ads API and few metrics like TopImpressionPercentage, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage which were available in Google Adwords API at country,region,metro level are currently unavailable in Google Ads API. 

API URL - https://googleads.googleapis.com/v8/customers/[customer_id]/googleAds:searchStream 

I tried to get the specified metrics from 'ad_group' report but got an error : segments.geo_target_region'(could not support requested resources: 'AD_GROUP'), since segment is incompatible with the resource in the FROM clause or other selected segmenting resources.

Also tried to get the metrics from Geographic_View and User_Location_View reports but got below error as the metrics are not supported in this reports-

'top_impression_percentage'(could not support requested resources: 'GEOGRAPHIC_VIEW')

Is there a way to get TopImpressionPercentage, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage metrics at segments.geo_target_region, segments.geo_target_metro, segments.geo_target_county, segments.geo_target_most_specific_location level from any report kindly let me know, Thanks.

Hello Akshay,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regard to getting the TopImpressionPercentage, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage metrics at segments.geo_target_region, segments.geo_target_metro, segments.geo_target_county, segments.geo_target_most_specific_location level, I'm afraid that this is still not supported in the Google Ads API. We have already raised a feature request for this; however, there is no guarantee if this will be supported in the API soon. That said, we recommend that you keep an eye to our blog for updates and new releases.

Hi,

As we know the Adwords API will be deprecated from April 2022 and so we were moving to the new Ads API. We are currently pulling TopImpressionPercentage, AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage metrics at geo level segments from Adwords API and would like to pull the same through the newer Ads API. Could you please let us know the ETA for getting this metrics at geo level ? Also, is there any other alternative where we can pull similar report in an automated way.

Thanks,

Akshay

Hi Akshay,

Thank you for providing more details to your concern. I am also a member of the Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

I am afraid that our team doesn't have a definite timeline on when segmenting of the said metrics at geo level will be supported in the Google Ads API. With this, I would suggest to keep an eye on our blog as we will post there relevant updates when become supported.

As for your question if there is another alternative to pull similar report in an automated way, I would suggest to reach out to the product team via this link to know if there is another way except in Google Ads API.

Hi,

I'm also migrating the metrics TopImpressionPercentage and AbsoluteTopImpressionPercentage from an AWQL query using the table ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.

It fails because the new fields are not allowed with "customer".

Is it something that is going to be migrated as well before the Adwords API is removed?

Thank you.

Hi Jean-Fabrice,

These two metrics are not supported in customer at the moment, but please allow me to make a feature request on your behalf. You can find relevant updates on the Ads Developer blog.

Hi Jean-Fabrice,

Thanks for your patience on this. This feature is tentatively planned for the 10.1 release. When that version is released, you should be able to use the two mentioned metrics on the customer resource.

Thanks for keeping us posted on this.

One question about the deprecation of the old Google Adwords API. It is scheduled for April 27. Will the v10.1 be available before this date?

That is blocking our migration to the new Google Ads API right now.

Thank you.

Hi Jean,

Yes, the AdWords API is deprecated and will be sunset on April 27, 2022 . As for the next version, we are still not aware of the exact date when it will be available. Currently, we only have this documentation regarding release schedules. That said, you may also continue to follow our blog for more updates or announcements regarding the next version's availability.

Best regards,

Heidi Google Ads API Team
