DCM/DFA Reporting and Trafficking API vs Data Transfer v2.0

[tcst...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am completely new to DCM/DFA Reporting and Trafficking API.

Got a requirement to pull the data from DCM and load into BigQuery buy using python google cloud app engine. 

When I gone through the documents. I see the following statement. 

When you work with your sales or support contact to setup access to Data Transfer v2.0, you will be provided with a bucket name, and a Google Group name used for controlling access to your data files in Google Cloud Storage. To make use of this document you will need those two things.

Please let me know what kind of data is available in the bucket as per above statement and what kind of data we can pull through API.

If there is no difference in the data, what is the advantage to use API.

Thanks,

Hi

Just wish to check if you managed to find the difference between Data Transfer and API ?

Hi Samanvaya,

If you are looking for event-level logs data you need to use Data Transfer. Otherwise, you can use DCM API.

Thanks,
