Hello

We are having difficulties in getting details related to GclId due to the fact that we don't have the exact date at which the impression time was when GclId got generated.

As in the click performance criteria report:

The Date field indicates the time of the impression, not the time of the click.

If we remove the date from query, we got error:

A single day DateRangeType is required for reportType: CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT'

Can you help up us in this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Samir,

Thank you for reaching out. As the GclId is only generated once when the ad was first displayed and clicked by the user, it would require you to run the CLICK_PERFORMANCE_REPORT for a single day for the past up to today. If you see the Clicks value is 1 that means it is also the click time. Otherwise, it is only the impression time. You might find this article useful for the click time generation.

Thanks and regards,
