Hi,

Is there a way to get the data we can find in the Troubleshoot tool of a Line Item Programmatic through API ?

The most important information would be the ad requests sent, the responses served / unmatched ad requests.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

In order to confirm exactly what you are looking for, can you please provide screenshots of the UI so that I can check if it is supported in the API? Additionally, metrics such as ad requests sent, responses served, and unmatched ad requests are available in ReportQuery as TOTAL_AD_REQUESTS, TOTAL_RESPONSES_SERVED, and TOTAL_UNMATCHED_AD_REQUESTS, respectively. Let me know if this is what you are looking for. 

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes this is great.
Can you confirm they can be coupled with any type of Proposal Line Item ?

Thanks

Hi,

We had an error adding the columns you've told us : 

googleads.errors.GoogleAdsServerFault: [ReportError.INVALID_DIMENSIONS @ dimensions; trigger:'PARENT_AD_UNIT_NAME', ReportError.COLUMNS_NOT_SUPPORTED_FOR_REQUESTED_DIMENSIONS @ columns; trigger:'TOTAL_AD_REQUESTS, TOTAL_RESPONSES_SERVED']
Then we tried by taking off the dimension PARENT_AD_UNIT_NAME and the two columns : TOTAL_AD_REQUESTS TOTAL_RESPONSES_SERVED :
googleads.errors.GoogleAdsServerFault: [ReportError.COLUMNS_NOT_SUPPORTED_FOR_REQUESTED_DIMENSIONS @ columns; trigger:'VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_COMPLETE, VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_COMPLETION_RATE']

Any idea? 
Best

As in it seems that we cannot combien the following columns and dimensions : 

- PARENT_AD_UNIT_NAME
with
- TOTAL_AD_REQUESTS
- TOTAL_RESPONSES_SERVED

And 
- VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_COMPLETE
- VIDEO_VIEWERSHIP_COMPLETION_RATE
with any LINE_ITEM_ID

Hi Nathan,

Yes, the COLUMNS_NOT_SUPPORTED_FOR_REQUESTED_DIMENSIONS error indicates that your combination of metrics and dimensions is not supported in the API. You can try making the request in the UI first, and if it it works there, then you can try making the same request in the API. 

Additionally, I see that you are also receiving an INVALID_DIMENSIONS error. Please note that PARENT_AD_UNIT_NAME is not a dimension that can be reported on. It is used to filter by parent ad unit name when creating a report with an AD_UNIT dimension.  

Thanks,
