Difference between ad_group_ad_asset_view and ad_group_asset

[Yijie Zeng]

Hi team,

I am looking at the apis that can retrieve asset metrics, specifically ad_group_ad_asset_view and ad_gorup_asset, may I know if they will give the same metrics given the same columns and same conditions? Also I noticed that ad_group_asset is enriched with more metrics regarding assets such as video_views and interactions, why are they not supported on ad_group_ad_asset_view? Thanks!

Sample queries:

ad_group_asset:

select 

ad_group.id, 

asset.id, 

metrics.impressions,

metrics.clicks

from ad_group_asset

where segments.date during LAST_7_DAYS

and ad_group.status = ENABLED

ad_group_ad_asset_view:

select 

ad_group.id, 

asset.id, 

metrics.impressions,

metrics.clicks

from ad_group_ad_asset_view

where segments.date during LAST_7_DAYS

and ad_group.status = ENABLED

Hi Yijie,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Team. I hope you are doing well today.

The ad_group_ad_asset_view  is a link between an AdGroupAd and an Asset. Currently support AdGroupAdAssetView for AppAds and Responsive Search Ads. This is for retrieving asset information and this is a selectable report. For the ad_group_asset, a link between an ad group and an asset. The said fields are attributed to resources for assets and customers. We would like to inform you that the ad_group_asset is used to get the metrics accumulated at the association of the ad group and asset-based extensions. The possible reason why is enriched with more metrics. To validate your query you may use our Google Ads Query Validator. 

To better check the data that you want to retrieve using Google Ads API, you may provide us the complete UI screenshot without cropping part. For security purposes, you can provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Best regards,
