Local action direction views

[Oktay Donmez]

I want to get “Local action direction views” under “local actions” in UI of a smart campaign. I use "metrics.all_conversions_from_directions" for this field. When I send request for today’s metrics it returns 0 but after 1 day when I send request for last day it returns correct values. Other fields are always correct. I tried to get 1 day later at 12:30 a.m. UTC it returned 0 again. Then I tried at 06:30 a.m. UTC it returned correct values.

Let’s say today is 2023-07-27 and my query is like below. This returns 0 for "metrics.all_conversions_from_directions". When I send the same request with same query 1 day later it returns correct values. What am I missing?

SELECT metrics.clicks, metrics.impressions, metrics.cost_micros, metrics.average_cpc, metrics.ctr, metrics.all_conversions_from_directions
FROM campaign
WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2023-07-27' AND '2023-07-27' AND campaign.resource_name = 'customers/8663984635/campaigns/20379100735'

Hi Oktay,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API Support Team.

 

Kindly refer to this Ads help center article <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2544985?hl=en> regarding Data freshness for information on how data is presented in Google Ads as it’s important to consider how fresh your statistics are. Performance data isn’t available instantly, and some metrics are only updated once a day. When gauging your account performance, it's helpful to know that some recent account data may not be showing up yet. In most cases, your account statistics (such as clicks, conversions, and impressions) are delayed by less than 3 hours.

 

As an example, statistics on the total of all clicks received by 6 p.m. on Friday will usually be available by 9 p.m. Friday night, local time. However, some metrics and reports take longer to process or are only calculated once a day (rather than on a continuous basis). Daily processing for some of these reports happens at the same local time in all time zones. Factor in your local time zone to determine when these metrics will be ready.

 

That being said, if the issue persists on your end, then we would like to request the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated on your end as well as the complete and uncropped Google Ads UI screenshot of the information you're expecting to be retrieved. This is so we can further check your implementation and investigate further:

• Request: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/field-service?hl=en#request
• Response: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/field-service?hl=en#response
• Request-id: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/call-structure?hl=en#request-id
• Request header: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/call-structure#request_headers

 

For the client libraries, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. This will cause the tool to include the HTTP response headers in the output.

 

You may send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. Note that you may need to join the Google Group for you to use this option. If this option is not available on your end still, you may send the details directly to our alias `googleadsa...@google.com` instead.

 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2mwiub:ref"

Thanks,
