total_active_view_viewable_impressions column

[Jesse Low]

When using the reporting API and requesting total_active_view_viewable_impressions I am suddenly getting back the column name active_view_viewable_impressions in the resulting report which broke my integration.

I don't see why the column is coming back a different name than what it is supposed to be.  This just started happening this morning.

This has just started happening for a bunch of fields for us!

Column::VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_FIRST_QUARTILE has suddenly become Column.VIDEO_INTERACTION_FIRST_QUARTILE without a change in API version!

Not ideal as this has broken our integration and goes against the point of API versioning.

Hi everyone,

I'm getting the same problem, the name of the columns VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP* has become VIDEO_INTERACTION*

Could someone please verify if there is something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Thank you for reaching out to us. This is Hosur from the Ad Manager API support team.

Upon checking, I can confirm that column names are changing when I try from my end as well. Hence, I am checking with our team on the same and one of our teammates will reach out to you once we get a solution on this.

Hi Hosur, 

We have the same issue. Here is the example of the request

Hello there,

I have the same problem with the report API v202205. The TOTAL_ACTIVE_VIEW_VIEWABLE_IMPRESSIONS metric in report was renamed ACTIVE_VIEW_VIEWABLE_IMPRESSIONS. 

The documentation doesn't reflect this change. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

would be nice to have some update from Ad Manager support team, if the changed names will stay like that or be reverted to the original ones, so we can either update our mappings for our clients or just need to reload data?

Kind regards,

Marc

Hi,

if anyone else is interested what was done (how it was fixed), looks me to me like the column names are now back to where they were before.

Cheers,Marc

Hi,

All our reports pulled in fine this morning, however, I have just gone to pull in the data for some missing days, and I've started getting the wrong video column names again.

Very odd. 

We are using  googleads/googleads-php-lib v57.0 I've tried v202111 and v202205

but we are still seeing Column.VIDEO_INTERACTION_ instead of Column.VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_

Example report job id: 12998812719

Hi,

We are still seeing total_active_view_viewable_impressions renamed as active_view_viewable_impressions in our API calls (tested with both versions v202205 – report job ID 12999290105 – and v202202 – report job ID 12999295184).

We're using the Python API.

Thanks,

F.

Same problem for us,  total_active_view_viewable_impressions as active_viewa_viewable_impressions and all video columns have interaction instead of viewership.

Report ID 12999294820.

Thanks.

Here in our cases - as i wrote - it seems to work fine again. we are pulling the results as csv_dump, maybe its different for different  exportFormats?

Hi everyone,

The release containing the fix was rolled back due to an unrelated issue. This is why reports were functioning normally for a brief window. The fix for this reporting issue will be rolling out again today around 1PM eastern.

For more information on the issue, it only impacts the CSV_DUMP format which uses enum-style column headers. Other export formats use localized / pretty-printed column headers. 

It is important to note that the data is correct. It is only the names of the column headers that have changed. The columns still represent the requested metrics.

Thanks for your patience here, I'll post again once the fix is rolled out again.

Following up here, the fix was rolled out again yesterday around 5:00PM eastern and is fully live. Let me know if you're still experiencing this issue.
