Difference between Web UI and report

[ysant...@rocketlawyer.com]

Hey

I am using the googleads-python api to pull different adwords reports, When I do this, any metrics to do with Cost shows me distorted values.

For example , in the web UI, I check cost (Cost is the sum of your cost-per-click (CPC) ) to each campaign and i do the same while pulling my report ( I specify the "Cost" parameter while creating my report definition) and i get a value more than 50000x times. Maybe I am missing something here?

Here is my whole definition:

report = {

'reportName': 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',

'dateRangeType': 'YESTERDAY',

'reportType': 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',

'downloadFormat': 'CSV',

'selector': {

'fields': ['Date','CampaignName','AverageCpc','AverageCpm','Clicks','Impressions','Ctr','Cost']

},

# Enable to get rows with zero impressions.

'includeZeroImpressions': 'false'

}

Please let me know if you need additional data to figure this out

Thanks!

Hello,

In the Campaign Performance Report, the Cost column is of type Money. In the report, Money fields are returned in micro currency units (micros), e.g.: $1.23 will come back as 1230000 (1.23 x 1,000,000).

Cheers,

Umesh, AdWords API Team.
