Starting this morning, we get a lot of errors in our system because the value for the "device" attribute is empty in report responses under some circumstances.
The error occurs when we load a keyword- or product partition report segmented by "Device" with includeZeroImpressions set to true. The xml response contains, for example, the following lines: <row campaignID="xx" keywordID="xy" adGroupID="xz" keyword="Fonduebesteck Set" matchType="Exact" impressions="0" clicks="0" avgPosition="0.0" avgCPC= "0" maxCPC="300000" cost="0" device="Computers" conversions="0.00" totalConvValue="0.00"/> <row campaignID="xx" keywordID="xy" adGroupID="xz" keyword="Fonduebesteck Set" matchType="Exact" impressions="0" clicks="0" avgPosition="0.0" avgCPC= "0" maxCPC="300000" cost="0" device="Tablets with full browsers" conversions ="0.00" totalConvValue="0.00"/> <row campaignID="xx" keywordID="xy" adGroupID="xz" keyword="Fonduebesteck Set" matchType="Exact" impressions="0" clicks="0" avgPosition="0.0" avgCPC= "0" maxCPC="300000" cost="0" device="Mobile devices with full browsers" conversions="0.00" totalConvValue="0.00"/> <row campaignID="xx" keywordID="xy" adGroupID="xz" keyword="Fonduebesteck Set" matchType="Exact" impressions="0" clicks="0" avgPosition="0.0" avgCPC= "0" maxCPC="300000" cost="0" device="" conversions="0.00" totalConvValue= "0.00"/> In the last line, the value for "device" is an empty string. This is not a valid value according to the documentation (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/keywords-performance-report). The invalid value causes our system to fail loading the report because it does not expect empty strings for device. We are not seeing this behavior for all accounts / campaigns in our system but for roughly 20%. >From the response, it looks like the last line corresponds to the "Other" device. Is this correct? In this case we could implement a quick-fix to bypass the problem until it has been solved.
