How to fetch billable campaign cost with API/GAQL

[Alexander Dyriavin]

Hello!


Currently, I am looking for a way of getting billable cost per campaign.
It looks like right now it's not a part of GAQL, because there is no mention regarding that in the documentation here -- [https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v8/overview?hl=en](URL).

It can be retrieved in Invoice, which is looking kinda weird, because if there is a difference on the campaign/campaign_report actual cost that will be invoiced, it will be better to have access to the campaign performance report or campaign budget report, but right now there is not any way to get through GAQL request.

This is how it looks in ReportingUI ( Billing cost - predefined reporting preset ) .

Is there any way to get it with API/GAQL

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for posting your concern.

It appears that the billable cost can only be retrieved using InvoiceService. With this, to confirm if my understanding to your concern is correct and to create feature request for this, is it correct that you want to have a field in campaign report and campaign_budget that can return the billable cost?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i would like to have it as the part of the campaign_budget/campaign  resource.
Meaning that we can use GAQL to get the value of billed cost for selected camapign/camapigns .
