Hey, thanks for reaching out. This is exactly what I was looking for.

So, what I'm doing now is collecting the metrics I need from 
`geographic_view`. I extract all the 
`geographic_view.country_criterion_id`s from your response, and use that in 
a follow up query to `geo_target_constant`. My followup query returns the 
`country_criterion_id`s mapped to their real name. Following receipt of 
this map, I update reports by replacing all the `country_criterion_id`s 
with their actual country name. This works great.

Separately, there's an issue where the results from the `geographic_view` 
don't match results from the Google Ads web interface. Surprisingly, I have 
found that several countries don't even show up in my results when queried 
via API, but those countries are showing up with impressions, clicks, and 
ad-spend when I look from the web UI. If you're able to help me with this 
separate issue, I've created a thread 
[here](https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/RsTWTRrPP5c).

Kind regards,
