Getting customer ID by using GclId

[Samir Sabri]

Hello

We have multiple customer IDs, and we have a history of GclIds

We need to find a way to map each GclId to its customer ID

The only way we found so far is to use CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT by looping through customer IDs for each GclId until we find the result is not empty.

So, if we have 100 GclId, and 5 customer IDs, we will have 5 API requests at maximum for each GclId to determine its customer ID.

adwords.config.set("authentication.client_customer_id", "xxxx")

report_query_builder = adwords.report_query_builder do |b|
b.select(*%w[GclId ExternalCustomerId CampaignId AdGroupId])
b.from('CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT')
b.where('GclId').equal_to("'xxxx'")

Isn't there any better way to handle this situation?

Hi Samir,

Thank you for reaching out. I’m afraid this is the only way to fetch the account information for the given GclId. As a GclId belongs to a specific account, when authenticating as a specific account, you would only be able to access the GclIds that are within the account. 

Thanks and regards,
