GoogleAds Auction Insight Metrics exist in API v11 now, but developer access denied

[jni...@condati.com]

I see that in v11 Auction Insight metrics were finally added to the API. However, when I try to extract them I receive an error message saying "This developer doesn't have access to these metrics". 

How do I go about getting access? Our developer token is for standard access. I don't see a higher level of developer access in the documentation. We can clearly, if not painfully, see the data in the UI, so it's not an issue of it being some super secret information.

If someone can shed some light on this for me, or help with a path forward, that would be great. We have been waiting for the addition of these metrics to the API for literally years. The UI extraction is so painful and maintenance heavy.

Thank you in advance,

Hi there,

This metric is not publicly available and it doesn't seem to depend on access level of developer token. Could you state your use case for these metrics in business terms so we can evaluate?

Thank you for responding so quickly,

At Condati, we use auction insights data to populate Quant Marketer- (our supplementary cross-platform optimization solution for paid media professionals). We can quickly and efficiently display available auction insights information segmented by campaign; enabling our (and your) customers to speed up time to act and make informed decisions based on competitive behavior. The current process is rather manual and requires us to create daily scheduled reports from GoogleAds UI into google drive, which we then must ETL from drive into our systems.

In addition to this less-than-ideal extraction method, there are often outages of the auction insights data leading to multiple, manual, retries on the scheduled reports in the UI to see if the data is available yet or if we must still wait longer. To mitigate this, we recently began scheduling multiple copies of the same reports at different times of the morning to try at least partially automate the process. As you can imagine, this creates an excessive number of reports that regular UI users must then filter through. All of this requires hours of manual attention each week to something we hoped would be available via your already established and reliable API. Given the importance for our (and your) customers to have updated auction insights data, we would like to request access to these metrics via the API now that they have been added to V11.

Thank you

Hi Aryeh,

this thread piqued my interest when you mentioned that there is a process to request access to Auction Insight Metrics. Can any organization apply? If so, how?

Thanks & best regards,

Hi Dorian,

Thank you for bumping this thread and for your interest with auction insight metrics. 

These metrics, however, are currently not publicly available and our API support team also does not have further information on the processes for its availability. For now, and with the feature request that my colleague Aryeh created, customers can follow our blog for future updates regarding this feature.

Best regards,

Hello,
Are there any updates on Auction Insight Metrics? I see that segment for auction insight is working, but there are errors when I try to use metrics.

Hi Łukasz,

As informed in the earlier emails, 'Auction Insight metrics' are still not publicly available. Unfortunately, the allowlisting for this feature is closed, and we are unable to add new users to have access at this time. While these metrics are not yet accessible programmatically through the API, you can still view them directly in your Google Ads account by navigating to Insights > Reports > Auction Insights.
