Hi,

Is there is a possibility that the historical data changes for the data obtained through Adwords Reporting API? We are using Bulk Reports and we extract the data for 'YESTERDAY' on a daily basis. Wanted to check if Adwords will have a change to historical data. In Adwords website, we will always see the latest values for a particular date. But in API, the data for a date is fetched only once and hence if Adwords change the data for that date, there will be a discrepancy. Can somebody please help?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. With regard to your concern, when you pull the historical data report, the API just pulls from the UI at the time you report right, so there's obviously gonna be a discrepancy. To correct the discrepancy you will just have to pull again from the API. I would recommend keeping an eye on our Developer Blog for information on future releases.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
