filters in Google Analtyics API's not working in AW Script

[David Ogletree]

This is specific to my AdWords script not sending the correct filter. It strips out extra zero's.

I am writing a script that accesses the Google Analytics Multi-Channel Funnels Reporting API. 

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/mcf/v3/

About Filters:

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/mcf/v3/reference#filters

Everything is working great except that I can't get filters to work right.

Here is the filter I'm using.

'filters': 'mcf:conversionType==Transaction;mcf:timeLagInDaysHistogram<=090,mcf:pathLengthInInteractionsHistogram>=000001'

This gives me the error:

Invalid value 'mcf:timeLagInDaysHistogram<=90' for filters parameter. (line 12)

If I took out the Lag part it would give same error for Length.

The docs say that I need to use a padded zero string.

"The length of conversion paths in number of days. The value is a histogram across a range of possible values. Format is a 3-digit zero-padded string representing an integer. For example, time lag of 3 days is represented as "003"."

"The length of conversion paths in number of interactions. The value is a histogram across a range of possible values. Format is a 6-digit zero-padded string representing an integer. For example, path length of 4 is represented as "000004"."

It works just fine if I use == but as soon as I use something else it errors out.

Here is the complete call:

 

var results = Analytics.Data.Mcf.get('ga:' + profileId, startDate, endDate, 'mcf:totalConversions', // List of all metrics to retrieve.

{

'dimensions': 'mcf:campaignPath',

  'filters': 'mcf:conversionType==Transaction;mcf:timeLagInDaysHistogram<=090,mcf:pathLengthInInteractionsHistogram>=000001'

});

Hi David,

The issue in the filter of your script seems to be Google Analytics specific. You can contact their support for your concerns since they can provide better assistance on this.

Thanks,

No analytics api works fine. Adwords is sending the wrong data. It is stripping off my my zeros.
