Hi everyone, I am accessing the Keyword Performance Report via the API (in Python3, using the standard libraries) and I'm making two separate requests, one to bring back a list of all my active (/enabled/eligible) keywords, and another to pull performance data for those keywords. I do this because the performance report returns data on inactive keywords that I want to filter out.
I'm puzzled because some active keywords are not being returned in the keyword performance report. According to this advice [ https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2404039?hl=en-GB] the performance report will exclude keywords that got no impressions, but I see plenty of keywords with zero impressions that *are* returned in the keyword performance report. So why are the keywords missing from the performance report? Here is the code snippet I use to access the (live) status data: def getKeywordStatusReport(client): # Initialize appropriate service. report_downloader = client.GetReportDownloader(version="v201806") # Create report query. report_query = (adwords.ReportQueryBuilder() .Select("ExternalCustomerId", "CampaignId", "AdGroupId", "Id", "Criteria", "KeywordMatchType", "CampaignStatus", "AdGroupStatus", "Status") .From("KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT") .Where("Status").EqualTo("ENABLED") .Where("AdGroupStatus").EqualTo("ENABLED") .Where("CampaignStatus").EqualTo("ENABLED") .Build()) And the bit I use (the following day) to access the performance data: def getKeywordPerformanceReport(client): # Initialize appropriate service. report_downloader = client.GetReportDownloader(version="v201806") # Create report query. report_query = (adwords.ReportQueryBuilder() .Select("ExternalCustomerId", "CampaignId", "AdGroupId", "Id", "Criteria", "KeywordMatchType", "Clicks", "Impressions", "Cost", "Conversions", "Date") .From("KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT") .During("YESTERDAY") .Build()) Why would this second query fail to return data on keywords that were active the previous day?
