Google Ad API : We want to see Zero Impressions

[Todd Evans]

We have tried to run several Gaql's trying to return Zero Impressions, like the following.  But zero impressions are not returned.

We understand that segments in the Select statement will prevent zero impressions.

We also understand that queries will return zero impressions by default in Google Ads API

SELECT campaign.name, ad_group.name ,metrics.impressions, metrics.clicks, metrics.cost_micros FROM geographic_view 

We have compared our queries against the Google UI like Geographic report and it returns zero impressions.

What are we missing.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,

Thank you for reaching out.

It would not be possible to retrieve records with zero impressions using the geographic_view. This is because this report is the Google Ads API version of the AdWords API's Geo Performance Report as you may also see in this guide. That being said, the AdWords API report does not support zero impressions and is also applied to the current geographic_view report.

Best regards,
