Different Conversion metrics returned between Google Ads & AdWords API's

[Chris Valle]

Hello,

We are testing the Google Ads API against the AdWords API by pulling different conversion metrics.  The problem we are having is we are receiving different values of certain metrics, while some remain the same, and we are unsure of why.  

AWQL string: SELECT AllConversions FROM AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING 20200201,20200210    -  Returned Value: AWQL: 883.4699999999998

GWQL string: SELECT metrics.all_conversions FROM ad_group_ad WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2020-02-01' AND '2020-02-10'. - Returned Value: AWQL: 883.399996

Report type: Ad Report Ad, Ad Group

     Metrics we are noticing differences in include: All Conversions, All Conversion Value, Conversions

     Metrics that have remained the same: Clicks, Cost, Impressions etc.

It is worth noting that the differences in values between the metrics are not big, being between 5-20 of each respectively.  Does anyone have any idea why we are seeing these differences?  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Yes, I received your private message. I was unable to replicate the data you were getting. I believe when you were getting the data from each source that it was catching snapshots while it was updating. Since the numbers should have stopped updating, the numbers should be the same. If you want the data to match up, you should create the reports at the same exact time. Let me know if you still face issues.

Cheers,
