Hi Josh,
I get the simulation data in the format below:
{"data":{"entries":[
{"type":"UNIFORM","landscapeCurrent":null,"campaignId":"xxx","adGroupId":"xxx","startDate":"20160308","endDate":"20160309","landscapePoints":[{"bid":{"microAmount":430000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":2,"cost":{"microAmount":810000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":39,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":460000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":3,"cost":{"microAmount":1110000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":49,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":490000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":4,"cost":{"microAmount":1980000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":56,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":530000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":6,"cost":{"microAmount":3130000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":63,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":590000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":7,"cost":{"microAmount":3910000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":68,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":870000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":11,"cost":{"microAmount":8660000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":74,"promotedImpressions":0}],"DataEntryType":"AdGroupBidLandscape"},
{"type":"UNIFORM","landscapeCurrent":null,"campaignId":"xxx","adGroupId":"
xxx
","startDate":"20160306","endDate":"20160309","landscapePoints":[{"bid":{"microAmount":230000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":2,"cost":{"microAmount":290000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":49,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":280000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":3,"cost":{"microAmount":490000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":59,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":350000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":3,"cost":{"microAmount":510000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":69,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":440000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":4,"cost":{"microAmount":860000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":79,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":740000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":5,"cost":{"microAmount":2350000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":93,"promotedImpressions":0}],"DataEntryType":"AdGroupBidLandscape"},
{"type":"UNIFORM","landscapeCurrent":null,"campaignId":"xxx","adGroupId":"
xxx
","startDate":"20160303","endDate":"20160309","landscapePoints":[{"bid":{"microAmount":20000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":0,"cost":{"microAmount":0,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":15,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":80000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":0,"cost":{"microAmount":0,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":23,"promotedImpressions":0},{"bid":{"microAmount":380000,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"clicks":0,"cost":{"microAmount":0,"ComparableValueType":"Money"},"impressions":29,"promotedImpressions":0}],"DataEntryType":"AdGroupBidLandscape"},
etc.
]}}
There are hundreds (even thousands) of ad group objects inside of the
data->entries array ( I have put just 3 for simplicity) for one client. I
wanna convert ad group level simulation data into a client level. So, I sum
ad groups in a way that their landscape points get summed up in respective
order: the first point of one ad group gets added with the first point of
another ad group, the second - with the second, etc. But there are two
problems which result in discrepancy in the final data: firstly each ad
group has different start and end date, and every ad group has different
number of landscape points: some has two, some has 6. That is why when I
get real data from AdGroupsPerformance Report for the same ad group ids it
has slightly different results.
Are there any workarounds for this problem?
Cheers,
Kanan
