How do you download the day and time of day in the ad schedule target report?

I've managed to download the ad schedule ID in a Campaign Ad Schedule Target Report, however is it possible to download the Day of the week and time period information in the report?

Thanks

Hi Rachel,

The DayOfWeek field currently only supports the report types listed here. As for the time period or timestamp, there is currently no field in any of the report types that supports or returns this information. You may follow our blog for any future announcements regarding this field.

Thanks and regards,

Ok, Thanks.
Is there a way you can decipher the day and time information from the ad schedule id? or do the numbers not stand for anything in particular?

Hi Rachel,

I'm afraid the Id field only stands as a unique identifier of the Ad Schedule object and doesn't necessarily translate to any day and time information.

Best regards,

Adwords API team,

i know this is an old thread, but was this feature ever added to the API? We are trying to pull our AdWords cost reports every 15 minutes, per ad group name , and we need the actual timestamp included in the return, not just "hour of day". 

Alternatively, if we can pass a click ID ( either ours or Google) in the ad URL or custom parameter, then we could map the timestamp back on our side. This would require us to get said ID back in the API call. would that be possible? 

Please let me know what the options are.

thanks,

Dominik

Hi Dominik,

This feature, I'm afraid, was not made available in any recent versions of the AdWords API. Additionally, we do not recommend retrieving reports every fifteen minutes due to the availability of actual performance data. You may want to review our data freshness guide for more information on how efficient you can retrieve data after a given period.

Thanks and regards,
