Clarification on 'This metric is not publicly available'

[Oksana Sulyma]

Hi Google Ad API team!

I see in documentation here 

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v15/campaign#metrics.auction_insight_search_absolute_top_impression_percentage  that auction metrics are not publicly available.

When I try to pull them I get: "message": "The caller does not have permission", "code": 7, "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED".

Could you please explain what does it mean 'This metric is not publicly available.' ? Does it require some specific permissions? Meaning if metric is not available publicly, there should be some private access available and I'm looking for any documentation or advices on how to get private access.

Thanks, any info will be helpful!

Hi team, just wanted to confirm that my question is still actual. Thanks!

"Not publicly available" means that you can't get it via the API.

Hi,

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

Yes, the auction insight metrics are not yet available publicly, which means that you cannot fetch them via the Google Ads API. In addition, there is no process for a request to access this feature. Note that I will raise a request for this feature to become available in the Google Ads API, however this is subject for review. So, I cannot provide a scheduled timeline for its availability in the API. I would recommend you to follow our Blog Post and Release Notes for future updates.
