Google Ads API v8 | Report with an automatic targeting data for GDN campaigns

[Ilya Bolshakov]

Hi,

Am I right understand there is no way to get a report with a "Expansion and optimized targeting" data for GDN campaigns in the current google ads api (v8)?

The ad_group_audience_view gives me data aggregated at the audience level, ok, but what about a data performed by the automatic targeting?

When I query a data from the ad_group_audience_view and if I sum it over a campaign level or even an adgrooup level I get less data that I have in the account.

And as I see the difference is exactly in the automatic targeting data.

So how can I get a report contains a data aggregated at the audience level incluiding the automatic targeting and the sum of the metrics will be like in the account?

For better understanding, I'm looking for the data like I can get from the CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT of AdWords API (v201809).

For Google Ads API I use this query:

            select

                segments.date,

                campaign.id,

                campaign.name,

                ad_group.id,

                ad_group.name,

                ad_group_criterion.criterion_id,

                ad_group_criterion.type,

                ad_group_criterion.display_name,

                metrics.cost_micros,

                metrics.impressions,

                metrics.clicks

            from ad_group_audience_view

            where segments.date between '2021-03-01' and '2021-03-01'

                and metrics.impressions > 0

Hi Ilya,

Thank you for reaching out. The Google Ads API currently does not appear to support a report that specializes in "Expansion and optimized targeting" and  "automatic targeting". What is currently available is to retrieve information whether a specific ad_group is opted in, via the ad_group.explorer_auto_optimizer_setting.opt_in field.

Since the API only mirrors the views/reports from the Google Ads UI, could you confirm if you were able to see a UI report specializing in the feature you described? If there is one, please provide the screenshot so that our team may create a feature request.

Best regards,

Hello Ilya,

Thanks for sharing the Google Ads UI screenshots.

I have already raised a feature request for this. However, please note that there is no guarantee if this will be supported soon. In the meantime, you can keep an eye to our blog for updates and new releases.
