Auction insights metrics in api v11: "The developer doesn't have access [..]"

[Sigurd Fabrin]

Hi,

When I try to query any of the new auction insights metrics that should be available in api 11, I get an error like this: "The developer doesn't have access to metrics: ''auction_insight_search_impression_share''.

I can see in the documentation that it says: "This metric is not publicly available".

How can I access these metrics? My access level shouldn't be an issue.

Example code:

  let query =
      'SELECT '+
      'metrics.auction_insight_search_impression_share '+
      'FROM ad_group '+
      'WHERE '+
      'segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS';    
  let response = AdsApp.search(query,{apiVersion:'v11'}); 
  while (response.hasNext()) {
    let row = response.next();
    console.log(row.metrics.auctionInsightSearchImpressionShare)
  }

Thanks

Sigurd

Hi again,

It is not the same question. It is related, but not the same. Also, you have not answered the question you mentioned, but only asked to get access to an account - which will not help other people

My question is:

How can I access to the auction insights metrics that should be available in api v11?

It other words: why does the code below not work?

  let query =
      'SELECT '+
      'metrics.auction_insight_search_impression_share '+
      'FROM ad_group '+
      'WHERE '+
      'segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS';    
  let response = AdsApp.search(query,{apiVersion:'v11'}); 
  while (response.hasNext()) {
    let row = response.next();
    console.log(row.metrics.auctionInsightSearchImpressionShare)
  }

Hi Sigurd,

Teejay here. Allow me to assist you in this.

With regard to your concern, it is indeed that the said field appears on the Metrics ref doc page, but they are not publicly available as mentioned in the descriptions. There has been a discussion on this from Google Ads API forum as well. Let me share this to the rest of the team to get their insight specifically to access request.

Hi Sigurd,

 

I am Maia, I work along with Teejay from the Google Ads Scripts Team. We have received feed back from the rest of the team.

 

I’m afraid that these fields are not available for public use. Having said that, it is not possible to grant access as there is no way to get allowlisted for these fields as well.

This might be old but in the new versions of the API too

In Report Editor via the Google Ads console I can access "Search keyword", "Display URL domain", "Top of page rate", "Abs. Top of page rate" to get an estimate of competition for each term 

I assume that 

SELECT

metrics.auction_insight_search_absolute_top_impression_percentage,

metrics.auction_insight_search_top_impression_percentage,

segments.auction_insight_domain,

ad_group_criterion.keyword.text

FROM

keyword_view

WHERE

segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS

In GAQL would yield similar results?

Are those not equivalent? If they are equivalent - why can I access them in the console, but not Ad Scripts?

Thanks

Any news regarding this issue?

The auction insight metrics are still not working, two years and 6 API versions later

For all metrics and for both the campaign and ad_group report, I get this error:

"MutateError.UNSPECIFIED: Call to GoogleAdsService.Search failed: The developer doesn't have access to metrics: ''auction_insight_[...]"

For ref. try this code that logs errors for all metrics in both reports:

     const metrics = ['metrics.auction_insight_search_absolute_top_impression_percentage',
                      'metrics.auction_insight_search_impression_share',
                      'metrics.auction_insight_search_outranking_share',
                      'metrics.auction_insight_search_overlap_rate',
                      'metrics.auction_insight_search_position_above_rate',
                      'metrics.auction_insight_search_top_impression_percentage'
                     ];
    const reports = ['campaign','ad_group'];
    for (i=0;i<metrics.length;i++) {
      console.log(`Now checking: "${metrics[i]}"`);
      for (k=0;k<reports.length;k++) {
        console.log(`Api report: "${reports[k]}"`);
     const query =
      `SELECT ${metrics[i]} FROM ${reports[k]} WHERE segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS`;
      try {
        const response = AdsApp.search(query);
        while (response.hasNext()) {
          const row = response.next();
          console.log(JASON.stringify(row));
        }
      }
      catch(e) {
        console.log(`Error: "${e.message}"`);
      }
    }
    console.log()
  }
